Whitford Bird Garden

Hour-long guided tours through aviaries with exotic and native birds, hands-on cockatoo feeding, and a Blake Twigden bird art gallery on site. Car access essential - no public transport.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for bird-enthusiast families with school-aged kids who want a hands-on guided experience outside the city. The cockatoo feeding and species variety are genuine drawcards.
