WHO KNOWS LOTS OF NATIVE BIRDS ?

THERE ARE PLENTY AT NATUREWORLD !

Cape Barren Geese
are native to Tasmania.

Through the efforts of conservationists
the Cape Barren Goose,
once rare and threatened with extinction,
now also grazes at Natureworld

Natureworld successfully

bred 21 goslings

last year, which went

off to the wild

This extraordinary bird seems unrelated to any other genus.
It grunts like a pig when exhibiting aggressive territorial behaviour.

 

 

Join a guided tour on the DEVIL EXPRESS (subject to numbers)
or enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park for an experience
the whole family will love and remember

ARE YOU A NARKIE ?

‘Narkie’ is another name for the native hen you will see at Natureworld.

They make a rasping ‘hacksaw-like-cacophany’ when disturbed
they also run very fast, but can’t fly.

Once threatened with extinction...
Native Hens are now breeding well in several places
including 56 reared at Natureworld in 2000.

I wonder how many other native birds can you find when you visit us ?
