Wildlife
History
The Sydney Opera House, designed by Jørn Utzon and completed in the early 1970s, reshaped the city’s waterfront; Featherdale has operated since the 1970s as a specialist collection focused on Australian native species.
Conservation
Featherdale runs education and breeding programs and asks visitors not to feed animals; sticking to paths and following keeper guidance helps protect wildlife and habitats.
