1. Bird Aviaries

This area features multiple aviaries constructed with metal mesh and steel frames, each covered with a roof to contain birds. The aviaries have concrete or brick bases and are surrounded by step-free pathways made of concrete and brick pavers, supporting easy movement. Shade is provided by large trees overhead, and barriers with metal railings and ropes separate visitors from the enclosures. Seating areas with tables and chairs are located near some aviaries, and signage is in place to advise visitors about bird bites.

The space is used for viewing parrots, cockatoos, and other colourful birds, with some aviaries allowing visitors to walk through where birds may fly freely and occasionally land on hands or shoulders. Birds may climb the mesh using their beaks and claws, and sounds include bird calls, squawks, and occasional mimicry such as “hello,” along with the sound of wings flapping. Activity levels may increase during peak times. The environment includes natural smells of plants and earth, with occasional bird-related odours, and visitors may feel paved surfaces underfoot and a light breeze through the trees.

5. Walk-ways and Amenities

The Bunbury Wildlife Park features wide, flat concrete pathways with a light red tinge. Surfaces are generally smooth and level, with some gentle variations to support movement. The paths meander around large trees, aviaries, and fenced enclosures, providing shaded routes throughout the park. Boundaries include metal mesh aviaries and timber post fencing. A circular seating area with brick paving and benches is located beneath a large tree, and a covered gazebo with brick flooring and bench seating provides additional shelter. Directional and informational signage is positioned throughout to guide visitors between areas.

This includes an accessible bathroom with an outward opening automatic door, operated by a green push button.
