Facilities

The Nestcafe serves a wide variety of foods to suit all times of the day, from our famous fresh cream scones to our very popular full breakfast.

Our cafe and food facilities are able to cater for large group bookings and accommodate specific request in advance of your visit. If you would like to make a group booking enquiry please contact us directly.

The Parrot Zoo Cockatiel Bar offers the highest standard of beer and alcoholic beverages. The bar is a welcome addition to our restaurant area, and offers relief for those wanting light refreshment, or whilst waiting for their meal.

Let the kiddies run wild on the adventure playground or bounce to their hearts content on the trampolines knowing they're in a safe environment, while you take a look around the gift shop for 'Nans' pressie or even better sit and have a nice cuppa and just relax listening the glorious sounds of the many parrots.

Set around a peaceful landscaped garden area with a delightful pond and the sound of running water, our Special Needs Arena is where high demanding birds receive that special 'one to one' attention. The majority of birds that reside in this area are receiving medication and dedicated services for illnesses developed in pet situations.

This has to be the most popular aviary within the Zoo. A huge walk-through enclosure where you can get up close and personal with lots of friendly parrots. Take a little bird food in with you and let the friendly birds land on you for a treat. You can also just sit and relax on one of the benches and watch the birds go about their everyday lives.

For hygiene purposes we ask all those who have entered this aviary to use the facilities provided to clean their hands as they leave the area.

Unlike other attractions we do not mind you bringing your own food. Around the zoo you will find areas for you to have a family picnic. Situated just outside the huge macaw aviary, you can lay and enjoy your food while watching a large flock of macaws going about their daily lives.

We have also provided family sized benches for you to enjoy your food on. For any special requirements or catering facilities please contact us prior to your visit.

The Ivanvale Nature reserve - a wonderful conservation project that has been created as an added feature for visitors to Parrot Zoo. Situated in 11 acres, we have planted over 10,000 trees of many species to encourage as much wildlife as possible. The trees are situated around a fabulous lake which was completed in April 2008.

Make sure you bring your cameras along as year by year you will see the creation of a place of natural beauty.
