Menu Birdland Park & Gardens > Attractions > park & gardens park & gardens Established in 1957 in Bourton-on-the-Water, Birdland is set in nine acres of gardens and woodland. This creates a picturesque canopy for the winding River Windrush. Birdland Park and Gardens was opened by Len Hill, a local Cotswold builder. Len had a passion for birdlife. The Park was one of the first bird encounters to open in the UK. There are over 130 species of birds on display, from some of the rarest to the most unique species that have developed to live in a specific habitat. Birdland Park & Gardens is home to the only breeding group in England for King Penguins. Discover Discover exotic and rare birds as you explore the Park and Gardens. Flamingos, pelicans, cranes, storks, cassowary and waterfowl live in our riverside habitat with parrots, owls, pheasants, hornbills, touracos and many more inhabiting over 50 aviaries.
