Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park is a fascinating world of birds

See owls and endangered birds at Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park near bigmill.com

There are more than two thousand birds from six continents in Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park located in Scotland Neck in eastern North Carolina. It is truly a bird watcher’s paradise!  In fact, it features the largest collection of waterfowl in the world. 

Founder Mike Lubbock loves every bird – but his true love is their breeding program, especially with endangered species like Asia‘s White-Winged Wood Duck, South America’s Orinoco Goose and the Madagascar Teal of Africa.

Some of the birds wander around as if you weren’t there, others like Matilda might follow you, and some sit in their cages, posing like the colorful Conure Parrot. Several eastern turkeys just showed up and decided to hang around.

Imperceptible overhead nets protect the chicks and small birds from predators. With these unique species, vibrant colors and exotic birds, this is a photographer’s paradise.
