点评:I have visited Birdworld often in the past with friends or family and I used to take school parties each year when I was a teacher so I thought I knew what to expect. Sadly that was not the case, It is now more like a theme park than a bird zoo. Many of the main attractions have gone. These include Ostriches, Malibu Stork, Eagle Owls, Macaws on open air perches, Kookaburra and Secretary Birds, There used to be a large pond full of water fowl near the shop. There was a woodland walk where you might meet birds face to face or a Golden Pheasant may cross the path in front of you. All of these have gone along with the children's petting farm and Underwater World. I could go on. The large new play area looks good if you are a child and there is a big new building going up and that has the potential to be very good though I don't know what will be housed in it?
Two more points to make one positive and the other negative. The negative is the catering. We were going to have lunch but what was on offer was really unappealing. Basically it was just ultra processed junk food so we gave it a miss.
I would like to praise the staff who were pleasant polite and willing to answer my questions even if it was not what I wanted to hear.
I will end with a note of optimism. The new owners are clearly investing substantially in Birdworld so it has the potential to be good again. I just hope they will read and learn from the critical reviews left here. Meanwhile it is an expensive day out to visit an attraction that is clearly in flux
翻译:我以前经常和朋友家人一起去鸟世界,以前当老师的时候每年都会参加学校的聚会,所以我以为自己知道会发生什么。可惜事实并非如此,现在它更像是一个主题公园,而不是鸟类动物园。很多主要景点都消失了。这些景点包括鸵鸟、马里布鹳、雕鸮、栖息在露天的金刚鹦鹉、笑翠鸟和蛇鹫。商店附近曾经有一个满是水禽的大池塘。曾经有一条林间小道,在那里你可能会和鸟儿们面对面,或者一只金鸡可能会在你面前穿过小路。所有这些都消失了,还有儿童宠物农场和海底世界。我还可以继续说下去。如果你是个孩子,那么新的大型游乐区看起来很不错。还有一座正在建造的大型新建筑,它可能会变得非常好,虽然我不知道里面会有什么?
还有两点,一个是优点,另一个是缺点。缺点是餐饮。我们本来打算吃午饭,但那里的食物实在没吸引力。基本上都是些超加工的垃圾食品,所以我们就没去。
我要表扬一下工作人员,他们彬彬有礼,即使我的问题不是我想听的,也愿意回答。
最后,我想表达一下乐观的态度。新主人显然在鸟世界投入了巨额资金,所以它有潜力再次发展壮大。我只希望他们能阅读并吸取这里的批评性评论。同时,参观一个显然在不断变化中的景点,花费不菲。
