» KIWI BIRD FEEDING
We feed all our Kiwi birds, including "Atu" (New Zealand's most charismatic bird) every day at 1:30pm in the Nocturnal House

It's a unique opportunity where you'll:

See our Guide feed the birds with a delicious combination of minced meat, insects, porridge, tofu, sultanas, banana and berries! It's a lovely diet that provides them with everything they need.
(They do spend a lot of time foraging in the Nocturnal House as well, because there are a lot of natural foods in the natural earth floor for them to hunt)
