Join us on a special morning tour of our Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre exhibition and discover a different side to our feathered friends. 

Travel through time as you uncover their reptilian origins and meet the world’s oldest modern bird.

Get to know just how clever our beaked buddies really are. Uncover their surprising and sometimes shocking survival tactics and listen to their unbelievable ability to mimic other sounds.

Birds are one of the most successful animal groups on the planet. They survived the mass extinction that wiped out all the other dinosaurs and adapted to live in almost every environment on Earth. However, how we live our lives is beginning to affect them. Learn about the threats they face and the actions you can take to protect them.

Your tour ticket includes entry to the exhibition.
