Mainz City Park
Parrot in a birdhouse

A birdhouse is located within the city park in Mainz’s Oberstadt district. The facility was built in 1960 and has been a major attraction for park visitors ever since.

The aviary is home to zebra finches, rice finches, canaries, silver-billed finches, and diamond doves. The main attraction of the aviary is a pair of yellow-breasted macaws. The aviary is partially glass-enclosed and features several outdoor aviaries. The aviary is accessible to visitors, allowing them to observe the birds from the inside as well. Approximately 10 bird species and around 100 birds live in the old aviaries at the entrance to the Volkspark.

In the immediate vicinity of the aviary is the rose garden, which is also of interest to visitors.
