I visited Taralga Wildlife Park on 07.01.2023. This is a complete list of the species I saw. I spent a fair bit of time at the aviaries trying to see everything, though some of them are densely vegetated so I may have missed some species, but I would say this list is fairly comprehensive. A few species were signed and not seen, I’ve listed those at the bottom. There are also a few aviaries behind the scenes which potentially hold other species not on this list.
