Minieuroland is a 2-ha entertainment park showcasting miniatures of famous historical buildings in nicely kept gardens. Kitschy but popular. It´s located on far outskirts of a nice historical town Klodzko, the park itself is surrounded by wheatfields and separated from the town by a highway and a sprawling shopping park. Entrance fee - adult 55 zloty (€12,70), child 49 zloty (€11,30). Overpriced food and coffee.

Owners´ve decided to incorporate ornamental birds recently, with new enclosures opening mostly 2023-2024.

Here is a species list sorted by enclosure.
(Disclaimer: Signage is between patchy and non-existant, sometimes downright wrong, I relied on visual identification and might miss something).

Marmoset Aviary - a glass-fronted vitrine.
  • Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) - 2

Meerkat Kingdom - smallish but decent enclosure.
  • Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) - a small breeding group with cubs

Squirrel House - a walk-through cage, feeding by visitors
  • North American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) - a tame pair ?

Flamingo corner - a miniature cage, will be enlarged next year (new pond visible)
  • Caribbean flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) - 9 or 10 subadults

Rabbit garden - pen with petting rabbits
  • Domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus f. domestica) - no idea what breed

Lorikeet temple - a house with angkor-wat and Indian theming, with glass roof, devided into several rooms, no outside aviaries (yet?)
  • Rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) - 10+ group
  • Military macaw (Ara militaris) - single tame bird, together with Catalina macaw
  • Toco toucan (Ramphastos toco) - pair
  • Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) - 8+ group of various mutations
This place advertises also a Papugarnia (parrot house) and that probably should be separate house from lorikeet temple, however I have not seen it. Lorikeet temple looked not finished.

One of the ponds with waterlilies had also some fish, maybe Prussian carp.

Total: 39
4 mammal species
34 bird species
1 fish species

This is not a fun place for zoochatters. Basically all birds are kept just for their ornamental function, with no possibility to breed. And I probably saw the fatties squirrel ever, with unlimited supply of sunflower seeds and nuts fed by people.
 
On the bright side the park only has one species if flamingo so even if the enclosure is appropriate for breeding (I assume they are not), there wont any hybrids.
