Pop in to see the penguins






KEEPERS at Birdland, Bourton-on-the-Water, are busy looking after their growing colony of Humboldt penguins. 

New nesting sites have been installed and the penguins have been showing more than just a passing interest in them.

Humboldts incubate their eggs for approximately 40 days, with both male and female parents taking turns to sit on the nest.

Visitors can meet the penguins and learn more at the twice-daily feeding at 11.30am and 2pm. 

Birdland (www.birdland.co.uk) is also home to a King Penguin chick, and the only breeding colony of King Penguins.
