BIRDWORLD KURANDA
North Queensland

As the result of a $35 million Skyrail service from Cairns to Kuranda Village in the mountains, ECO HABITATS constructed a tourist sanctuary to contain both Australian and Exotic birds.

Birdworld exhibits the greatest number of species flying together, anywhere in the world, over 75 species in all. Although parks such as Jurong in Singapore boast greater numbers, they are not flying together within the same canopy.

This project has developed a close association with the adjacent Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, and now offers visitors a more comprehensive "eco experience".

The move towards free-flight enclosures has proven to be extremely successful, and undoubtedly the days of exhibiting birds in small cages are coming to a close.
