Walsrode Vogel (Bird) Park
During our Easter break in Germany we spent a day at this fantastic bird park. If you are in the area of Hannover, Bremen, Hamburg, Oldenburg then a day trip is possible. If you have a motorhome you can park on a large area of the park, although I don’t think there are any facilities i.e EHU, water etc..
The park has 24 hectares of parkland which is beautifully landscaped and contains some several hundred species of plants
There is a 4 kilometre circular route around the garden which takes you passed all the enclosures. There are indoor and outdoor flying displays twice a day which are fantastic. One of the highlight for me was the flight of Chilean Condor. The birds are fantastic although a lot in aviaries there are significant numbers roaming about. Owls, Storks, Cranes, to Budgies and Shoebills. Birds from every corner of the globe. There are 4000 birds with 675 different species

The park regret that dogs are not allowed into park. Dog kennels (2×3 meters), incl. fresh water and lying surface) are available free of charge
