Good news for our visitors, Bunbury Wildlife Park’s walk-in aviaries have now reopened.
Published 19 August 2026, updated 20 August 2026

Following our earlier precautionary closure in response to the H5 bird flu situation in WA, we’re pleased to welcome visitors back into the walk-in aviaries. There has been no detection of avian influenza at the park, and our region is not currently considered a high-risk area.
We want to acknowledge that this remains an evolving situation. The health and welfare of the animals in our care is our priority, so we may need to reintroduce precautionary measures (including closing the aviaries again) if circumstances change.
We appreciate our community’s understanding and flexibility.
Please note, feed bags remain unavailable for now. This is a continued precaution to help minimise attracting wild birds into the park.
If you see sick or dead birds or marine mammals, please avoid handling them, take photos or video, note the location, and report to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888. Please also keep pets away from wildlife.
