Bird Experience

Go behind the scenes in our aviaries and spend time learning about the many species of birds at Jersey Zoo. Our experienced staff will share their insights into these beautiful animals and how Durrell is working to save their cousins in the wild. This experience will last for 45 minutes.   

These amazing experiences are only available for a limited number of days (typically Saturdays, by appointment) each month, so we advise booking early. You can make a group or individual booking.
