Birds of Eden is home to about 220 different types of birds, and more than 3500 birds live in the sanctuary. Birds of Eden's unique two hectare dome (the world’s largest) spans over a gorge of indigenous forest. The sanctuary provides a forever home where previously caged birds can live a life of free-flight in a habitat as large and natural as is possible. The feathered inhabitants of the aviary are comprised of a mixture of exotic, as well as African birds. This includes previously caged pets, hand reared and imprinted individuals. All new arrivals at Birds of Eden go through a process of rehabilitation before they enter the actual sanctuary. (source: Birds of Eden)
