Frydenlund Fuglepark - "Garden of senses"

      The "garden of senses" is meant to be a tranquil corner where you have to use all of your senses to experience the surroundings. The garden was still under construction during my visit, so it wasn't too impressing yet (and while you could see and smell the flowers and hear the trickling water, there wasn't much to feel or taste yet).

      Frydenlund Fuglepark, also known as "Danmarks Fuglezoo" ("Denmark's bird zoo"), is one of two bird parks in Denmark, the other one being Nordsjællands Fuglepark. They contrast each other somewhat in that Frydenlund focuses more on larger birds - such as waterfowl, pheasants and ratites - and has fewer rare species, mostly keeping birds that are easy to source in private aviculture. Besides birds, they also have four species of mammals.

      Frydenlund is located in the middle of the countryside on the island of Funen in very pleasant surroundings. The exhibits themselves are also generally fine, but it's one of those zoos where you see a heavy contrast between new and old - the new free-flight aviaries are huge and luxurious, but there are also rows of tiny parrot aviaries that look like they haven't changed for many decades.
