The gardens, wetlands and bushland of Taronga Western Plains Zoo is not only home to over 700 exotic animals, but it provides excellent fox- and cat-free habitat for a range of (wild, native) bird species.
Bird species include Speckled Warblers, Little Eagles, Little Lorikeets, Grey-crowned and White-browed Babblers and Red-capped Robins in bushland areas. Depending on the condition of the wetlands, a variety of waterbirds can be observed including ducks like Hardhead, Cormorants, Little Grassbird, Buff-banded rails, Ibis and Herons.
