Almost 60 species, nothing between you and them Birdworld Kuranda sits inside the Heritage Markets in the village, and the whole place is one large free flight aviary. Almost 60 native and exotic species, more than 350 birds, and none of them behind glass. They land on you. That is very much the point. What you'll see The Amazonian macaws are the loud ones, and they're why half the photos coming out of Kuranda have a red and blue bird sitting on somebody's shoulder. There's an endangered cassowary here too, which is a rare thing to get close to. The finch aviary is the quiet corner and worth the couple of minutes. Handfeeding comes with entry rather than being an upsell, and there's no time limit once you're through the gate. What it costs and how long it takes Adult entry is $24, children $12, and a family ticket covering two adults and two children is $60. Most people wander through in 45 minutes to an hour. Birdworld Kuranda is open daily, though check the closing time before you plan the rest of your day around it. Where it fits in a Kuranda day It's a short walk from Kuranda Koala Gardens and the Butterfly Sanctuary, so Birdworld Kuranda slots into a Scenic Rail or Skyrail day without swallowing it. Combined tickets across the village attractions are available if you want more than one. Explore the Kuranda tours that get you up the range, then check availability for the day you're heading up.
