Katikati Bird Gardens

"Beautiful gardens with lovely paths to follow around the grounds. Many bird aviaries over the property, yet a lot of the birds are free and follow you around - especially if you have some bird food with you! Very awesome experience, will come back again in spring to see it in another season"

"A very sweet young boy served me and was very helpful. The gardens are also very pretty although I feel bad for the birds in cages as they seem quite depressed and are exploited. I saw some kids throwing rocks at the chickens. Maybe look towards hiring more staff to patrol the gardens so that customers don't abuse your animals. The food wasn't great and infact was very overpriced for what it was."

"We love visiting Katikati Bird Gardens, a beautiful, serene garden space with many different birds to see and feed. Parking, toilets and cafe onsite and bird feed you can buy. Ducks, geese, chickens, pheasants, peacocks, doves etc are all tame enough to eat out of your hand. I must admit that when we visited the kids their and their respective parents did impact the experience with them being allowed to chase baby chicks and catch them by their parents. I would suggest the owners put signage up to ensure the birds are able to be fed but not harrassed if this isnt already there."

"This was actually better than we expected. Very relaxed environment with calm birds to feed. Quite reasonably priced considering prices of other attractions these days. Being summer the shady tree areas made you linger longer in the cool and the water lilies and tadpoles were abundant. Baby peacocks, ducklings and chickens plus a small playground made our little one happy"
