A family business
Birdworld Kuranda has been locally owned and family run since 1980. It sits inside the Kuranda Heritage Markets, a short walk from the Skyrail terminal and the railway station, in the same markets as Kuranda Koala Gardens.
A habitat to walk through
Most of the birds fly freely in a landscaped habitat of ponds, water features and native and exotic plants. Many are tame and used to people, and you can buy feed at the front counter to hand-feed them.
Birds from near and far
Local birds such as the southern cassowary share the habitat with parrots from overseas. Eclectus parrots were long thought to be two species, because the males are green and the females red, until they were confirmed as one in 1913.
