🍂 Avicultural Society Autumn Meeting – Paradise Park
Saturday 10th October.

The Avicultural Society will be holding its Autumn Meeting at Paradise Park, Hayle TR27 4HY, on Saturday 10th October. Members are warmly invited to join us for a day centred on aviculture, conservation, and the Park’s long‑standing work with Operation Chough and the World Parrot Trust.

Paradise Park is home to over 1,200 birds, including approximately 700 parrots, with notable species such as Lear’s Macaws, Blue‑throated Macaws, Cornwall’s Red‑billed Choughs, Caribbean Flamingos, and many others.

We are pleased to confirm that members have kindly been offered a short welcome talk followed by a guided tour, providing an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Park’s conservation work and specialist parrot programmes.

Paradise Park has also kindly offered a £5 discount on the entry price for Society members and their partners.
Please bring proof of membership on the day, such as a recent copy of the Avicultural Magazine or a screenshot of this email.

Further details on the talk and tour timings will follow once confirmed, so please ensure you RSVP. 📬 with Chris Green at [email protected] so we can provide an idea of attendance numbers to the venue.

Great to see the flamingos back in their habitat at Dudley, after the enclosure suffered significant damage earlier this year.

Perfect timing for our visit in a few weeks for our AGM and Spring Social on Saturday 18th April.
