Bird Garden



Harewood House in Leeds


Conservation for the future

Our aim at Harewood Bird Garden in Leeds is simple: to promote an understanding and awareness of birds and their environment, through conservation, exhibition and interpretation.

Harewood Bird Garden in Leeds is one of the country's premier avian collections. Over a hundred species of threatened and exotic birds are housed in sympathetic environments with the aim of promoting conservation and education. The Bird Garden Guide includes a list of species currently housed here. The Bird Garden is an active member of the Federation of Zoological Gardens of Great Britain and Ireland, and participates in various captive breeding programmes.

A visit to the Bird Garden is about enjoying the beauty, splendour and diversity of the world's birds, and we hope it will make you as enthusiastic for their conservation as Lord and Lady Harewood and all the Harewood staff. We all share a commitment that means that today the Bird Garden stands as a testament to good practice in conservation in a world where hundreds of species are in serious peril.

We think that a visit to the Bird Garden will give you an appreciation of the natural world's extraordinary diversity and lead to an understanding of the conservation efforts we and other organisations are making.
