Birdwatching
The Green Parrot aviary.
Take some time to sit quietly and listen to the wide variety of birdlife found in the Park.
In the hot Summer-months the Bloodwood capsules can be heard exploding with a sharp cracking sound and showering their seeds across the garden. The Norfolk Island Green Parrot aviary provides visitors with the change to hear their distinctive "kek kek kek kek kek" call. Further down in the forest the Golden Whistler may come quite close to you demonstrating why the local name for it is "Tamey". The melodious whistling "wh-wh-wh-wit - seep" is one of the most beautiful birdsongs in the Norfolk forests. The most commonly seen bird in the gardens is the Fantail who will follow walkers looking for the insects disturbed along the tracks. Their song is a vigorous sweet chatter. White Terns and bush birds can be seen sitting high in the gnarled branches of the big Whitewood trees in the Botanic Gardens.
