Two lakes connected by a tumbling waterfall for example are home to waterbirds such as stilts, herons and Australia’s own unique Black Swan. In Birdworld's rainforest canopy overhead, blue, gold and scarlet Macaws dazzle with colourful brilliance as they soar above the tree tops. One outstanding Birdworld denizen not to be missed is that rare avian giant, the Cassowary - an Australian bird now officially enlisted as endangered.Designed to "create a centre where birds would be showcased in their natural environment without the barriers of cages coming between them and their admiring public", Birdworld Kuranda is a photographer's paradise. (And without those barriers, visitors often find a feathered friend nestling on their shoulder - a golden photo opportunity!) Birdworld Kuranda can provide guided tours for all group bookings. « less

My family loved this place. It's the 2nd time we have been here and my daughter loves it. It's very touristy but hey - that's what you do on holidays... touristy stuff! When you purchase a ticket you receive a bag of seed/nuts/fruit and the birds love these. My daughter had a big blue macaw land on her and start... More

We went to Birdworld as a large extended family (adults and children ranging in age from 8 to 1). We were warned that the larger birds may be curious and approach us, and found this to be an understatement! The minute we entered the enclosure we had macaws flying on us. This really did upset our children who found the... More

Birdworld was excellent! The big macaws and black cockatoos were really amazing to see, not to mention all the other beautiful birds in the sanctuary like the Cassowary. Upon entering the enclosure, I was advised by the lady at the desk, take out all jewellery. I said 'oh they wont get the studs out of my ears', she said 'famous... More
