Kurume City Bird Center

Located in Chuo Park in Kurume, Fukuoka, the Kurume City Bird Center is a unique spot home to Approx. 80 species and 420 animals.

The biggest eye-catcher is the Approx. 70 Indian peafowl. Their vibrant colors are stunning when they spread their feathers, and in the specially designed “Flying Cage,” you can watch them gracefully walking overhead. In the dedicated aviary, you can enjoy a close, unhurried look at their beauty and behavior.
