When walking around Pen-Y-Ffrith Birds gardens there is alot to see. You could meet the Parma Wallabies who are resident in the Woodland, walk down to the big lake and see some of our owl collection, and all around you will find aviaries with pheasants and small birds.

The parma wallabies roam all around the park, we see them in the woods, down by swan lake and up by the crown crane aviary, so keep an eye out for them on your walk. Parma wallabies are normally found in Australia and New South Wales, thought to be extinct a group were discovered in 1965 near Aukland and have been doing well in breeding programmes since.  Wallabies use their two hind feet to jump and can hop at distances from 1mt to 9mt.

The cackatiels can be found in the aviary on the lawn in the House Garden, in the aviary you will spot a variety of small birds and one large pheasant who likes you to feed him some grass.

The Blue Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum) is a monotypic species found throughout mountain forests of central and western china.  These pheasant have adapted well to the high altitudes of mountainous regions of asia.  They occur in extreme northern Sichuan, Tibet and northward into Gansu in China in coniferous forests upto 11,500 feet.  This species of the eared pheasants was the last to arrive in Europe in 1929.  One of the most common and stable eared pheasants, the Blue-eared Pheasant is not endangered or threatened at this time.
