Sydney Parrots and Other Native Birds

This Sydney Parrots and Other Native Birds tour gives guests a unique opportunity to experience some of the amazingly rich birdlife of Sydney.

The city's parrot life is amazing. Whilst Australia's kangaroos, koalas and wombats are iconic, there's more to this country than its amazing mammals. Did you know that one sixth of the world's parrots call Australia home? 56 species of the 300 or so species of parrot are found in Australia, and only five of these are found elsewhere in the world. More than a dozen of these are found in Sydney and many are found throughout the city's leafy suburbs.

On your Sydney Parrots tour, you will see parrots and other native birds in at least three different locations around the city including a unique island where there are no cars and residents use wheelbarrows to cart their shopping home.

During this day tour you may see many of Sydney's colourful parrots including king parrots, cockatoos, lorikeets, corellas, galahs and more. On some days you may encounter only a few of these species, on others they will find ten or so. Often, they may also see other birds including pelicans, ibis, kookaburras, brush turkeys, lapwings and magpies.
