Birds of a feather

Join us for an online session looking at our fabulous Aviary. The workshop will focus on the different species that our Aviary team look after, and the conservation work they do. Pupils will then make a conservation promise to the planet, which will then go on display at Waddesdon. There’s also a resource pack for teachers, so learning can continue after the online session.
