Feed the birds only with the feed sold at the counter, and move calmly so they stay relaxed around visitors.
Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps keep the birds calm and the visit pleasant for everyone.
