Owlcatraz - Nature Bird & Wildlilfe Park

Owlcatraz, owl house, glow worm cave and nature park, Shannon, Horowhenua.    Owlcatraz

This is a fun family place. The welcome you get at Owlcatraz car park is a slick 30-second "meet and greet" and then there's Joey, the 30-year-old cockatoo, who, for a doorman, does not say much.

Sited at the edge of Shannon, Owlcatraz is a wonderful mixture of Fact, Fantasy and Fun. Curious about nature? Ask Ross or Don - the park's top guide. The owl house and the man-made glow worm cave established Ross as a habitat expert in temperature and lighting control. Breeding programmes for the North Island Weka and owls require other knowledge.
