You can adopt a bird as a group, a company, or an individual, or as a worthwhile and unique gift for someone else.

When you adopt a bird at Harewood, you’ll receive:

A plaque displaying your name and message on your chosen bird’s enclosure display.
A certificate signed by our Bird Garden Curator.
A twice-yearly newsletter.
Ticket to the Summer Evening Bird Adopters’ Event.

We provide only a basic welcome pack for adopters to keep administration costs low and thus ensuring all donations go directly towards the care of the Birds and upkeep of the Bird Garden itself.

You could also adopt a bird on behalf of friends, family and loved ones. Bird adoption certificates are great gifts for birthdays, christmas, wedding presents or Valentines Day gifts (you can give them anonymously!).
