Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Muckleneuk, Pretoria, South Africa.

The Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary covers approximately 11.8 hectares of wetland habitat featuring two streams, reed beds, and open water basins that support diverse waterfowl, herons, and kingfisher species throughout the year.

Opened on 27 October 1956 by Pretoria mayor W. J. Seymore, it became the city's first bird refuge. It was officially proclaimed a nature reserve on 26 February 1958 and fenced in June 1970. It is named after ornithologist and mammalogist J. Austin Roberts, born in Pretoria in 1883 and raised in Potchefstroom.

The sanctuary serves as an important educational center offering guided walks, exhibition halls, and community programs that promote bird conservation awareness and environmental education for schools, families, and nature enthusiasts in the Pretoria area.

Open daily from 07:00 to 18:00 during summer months and 07:00 to 17:00 in winter, the sanctuary offers free access to bird hides and guided walks for groups up to 12 people at R55 per person with advance reservations required.

The reserve's main dam formed when a former clay quarry at the confluence of the Walker and Argo Spruit was left to fill with water, and exotic trees were planted along its verges. Nine small perennial dams and wetland basins were later added, some with artificial islands, for aquatic birds.
