The Bird Park was created in 1974 by Philip Meigh MA RCA. He was an established cartoonist and artist living locally and had amassed a wonderful private collection of waterfowl, it was moved to the new 10 acre site at Prinknash at this time.
He restored the original monastic fish ponds that had once supplied the City of Gloucester with its fresh fish. His concept for the park was that birds look beautiful in the wild and seldom do in captivity. The vision was to give a superb backdrop to beautiful birds, by incorporating delightful follies, landscaped parkland and a dash of charm supplied by the carefully chosen deer, and pygmy goats. Philip had a great flair for landscaping on a grand scale creating lovely lakes, ponds and walkways. He then started to integrate, to design and build follies around the park and was forever dreaming up new ones. All these follies were placed with maximum effect, they all have lovely views and can be seen from various vantage points within the park, but none of them overshadow the others, which is an art in itself. However, they come together when the Fallow deer walk past and pose.......or the Peafowl display in late afternoon, this is when you see his work at its best.
The Bird Park works to a regular regime for feeding times for the animal whenever possible. However, this may differ on occasion due to unforeseen circumstances.
The normal feeding times are:
- 10.00 - 11.00am waterfowl and young ducklings and the cage and aviary birds.
- 11.00am The Reindeer.
- 12.00noon The Kookaburras are fed and most days from April to Sepember they are also flown to the glove along the main dam.
