There are approximately 10,000 different species of birds found around the world! Birds are an incredibly diverse range of species but they do share some common features: they’re all warm-blooded, covered in feathers and lay eggs.
Most birds fly with a few exceptions such as the Ostrich or the Rhea, yet all have very sharp eyesight, helping them to spot predators and prey across a vast distance.
The different species of bird that call the Welsh Mountain Zoo their home originate from a diverse range of environments; from the icy waters of the speedy Humboldt Penguin to the shallow shores of the Chilean Flamingos.
We’re particularly proud of our seasonal free-flying bird presentation where you can get up close and personal with some of the most majestic and powerful species in the world.
