The park is home to over 140 birds, mainly parrot species from Africa, South America, Asia and Australia, housed in 11 aviaries. You can also spot other birds such as chickens and geese.

The Ornithological Association of Mauren is dedicated to the well-being of the birds, handling feeding, breeding, and healthcare.
