The home of the world's most popular penguin will host a range of special events to showcase its array of "feathered friends".

Birdland Park & Gardens in Bourton, alongside famed penguin Spike, has a range of attractions including parrots, cassowaries, cranes and flamingos.

In March, to coincide with Mother's Day, Birdland will celebrate some of the feathered mums at the park.

The festivities will continue in April with a series of Easter activities including informative egg-themed shows and a quiz trail.

There may also be some egg-stra special additions to the park's bird population.

Birdland intends to keep the momentum going throughout the year.

Special events like a Penguin Celebration and a feature named Birds Behaving Badly are on the calendar.

One highlight will be 'Trick or Tweet Week' during the October half-term, which will explore bird-related mythologies like the wisdom of owls, the legend of the phoenix, and the Roman's beliefs surrounding bird calls.

Birdland also hosts cafe The Nest, which was recently launched by Rugby World Cup winner Phil Vickery.

The menu includes a range of sandwiches or warmer options like potatoes or rice loaded with a variety of toppings.

Birdland opens daily from 10am, welcoming both adults and children guests for £11.95 and £8.95, respectively.
