We are open every day of the year

The Canberra Walk-In Aviary is a 1000 square metre, planted, privately owned walk-in aviary, where the friendly free flying birds can be observed, photographed and fed. The Walk in Aviary’s owners developed the aviary as a way to enjoy their love of birds and also provide an interactive experience with our feathered friends. It is our mission to allow people to have an interactive experience with the birds.

Visitors to the aviary walk amongst approximately 600 birds representing nearly 60 different species (Parrots, Finches, Doves and Quail) from Australia and around the world.
On admission to the aviary, as part of the admission price, visitors are given a small plate of food and a small tub of mealworms with which to feed the birds. Some (not all) will come and take the food from you and may even land on you.

The aviary is situated at 18 O’Hanlon Place in the village of Gold Creek.
Gold Creek Village is situated off the Barton Highway (road to Yass) in the Northern Canberra suburb of Nicholls. We are approximately 20 minutes from the City Centre. Entrance to the aviary is behind the Green Gold Garden Centre in O’Hanlon Place.

We are open every day (except Xmas Day) weather permitting.

The safety and well being of our visitors is our priority. Consequently. numbers to the Aviary Enclosure are limited to 60 persons.
Hand sanitiser is provided to all guests.
