Featherdale first opened in July 1972, as a family owned business that has evolved and grown to be known as one of Australia’s pre-eminent wildlife facilities with over 270 species of birds and animals on display.
The park was purchased by Amalgamated Holdings Limited in 1996 which maintained ownership until the sale to Moss Capital.

BREED, a work place service provider in the Nirimba Business Centre, which has been working with Featherdale for a decade or more, manages 80 work experience and primary industry work placement students at the venue.
“We often find that students will bring a fresh perspective and new ideas which they share during their week at Featherdale,” said Kellie Ames, a former work experience student herself and now the park’s marketing manager.
