Walsrode World Bird Park

This park spans 24 hectares between Hamburg and Hannover, housing over 4,200 birds from 675 species in open enclosures, various aviaries and climate-controlled tropical houses with naturalistic habitats.

Fritz Geschke established a breeding facility for pheasants and waterfowl in 1958, opening it to visitors in 1962 with continuous expansion through new themed sections and species collections over subsequent decades.

This facility delivers educational programs and specialized presentations about avian protection while supporting research projects for safeguarding threatened species in their natural habitats and coordinated breeding efforts within zoological networks.

Visitors can attend feeding demonstrations and flight shows, walk through various sections on designated paths, and use complimentary parking; some routes accommodate wheelchairs while certain sections have restricted access.

The hummingbird house opened in 2012 maintains precisely controlled temperature and humidity conditions for breeding and displaying hummingbird species from North and South America under controlled environmental parameters for successful reproduction.
