One of the guarantees that animals like to be in parks which are reserved for them, is when they reproduce. It is the case in the Parc des Oiseaux. There were this year, more than five hundred births of eighty different species and children like visiting the nursery and observing the squawking beaks which aim towards the food. The staff enjoys showing their work. No need to say that’s something to be proud of!
For several years now, the park has been making big efforts for the conservation of species. It was, fifteen years ago, one of the founder members of the CEPA (Association of Preservation of Species and Animal Populations).
An association with the objective to finance programs of protection and preservation of very rare species in nature. When Jacques Perrin shot his movie The Migratory People , he worked in close collaboration with the park.
What also attracts visitors is what is new. Every year new spaces are set up. After South America, Australia, Europe, Asia and its winged inhabitants, it is Africa which was installed in 2010 on about 1,5 hectares with one of the most important populations of Hornbills which move around in a décor recreating the Asian bamboo plantation and the African savanna.
Visitors also enjoy shows of birds in flight. Leaving place from time to time for concerts and cultural meetings. The Parc des Oiseau has a wide opened sky.
