The West Australian Reptile Park — Attraction in Henley Brook

I went to this reptile park over the weekend with my partner, niece and nephew. Firstly they could at least tidy up the place so it looks more kid friendly and no so sketchy, that was my first thought walking through the park. Secondly walking into the front where you pay there are at least 4 birds when you walk through, like 2 white cockatoos and 2 pink and greys. they are all in separate cages and seriously the birds give off the most saddest and most depressed vibe like they are wanting someone to help them and let them out, there cages have no toys or fun in there what so ever, i felt so horrible that apart of me wanted to open the cage and let them fly.. this is not what i wanted for my niece and nephew to see these birds all sad and depressed hating their life stuck in those cages with no form of fun or activities for them. Let alone the fox that they have in a cage has gone nutter as it kept running around in circles looking out into the grassland wanting to escape in such a panic. I am so angry that people have left reviews about the birds and yet again the owner has done nothing about it. This trip to the reptile park was not fun to show the kids, nothing but them being being sad, depressed and raised in a sketchy ...

What a sad place this was to visit :( I’m shocked this place is still legally open. I have made numerous formal complaints after my visit to try and be a voice for the poor state these living things are being kept in. The reptiles had no water or food, their water bowls were bone dry! Their enclosures had nothing but newspapers and some old wood (if that) where is the greenery? The birds were all very sad, the ones at the front were lucky to have a bit of seed and water, no toys or even branches to sit on. Some of the bits outside were clearly distressed and flying back and forth, they had no greenery or fresh water. The wombat enclosure had a sign that looked 10 years old saying under construction, why was the wombat left in there? Again no greenery or fresh water. The place is so run down with piles of old rubbish just laying around the grounds, my children we’re constantly asking where to walk because the animal enclosures are weaved in with unkept gardens and half fenced off areas with piles of old metal/cars/rubbish. The animals all looked so sad and depressed. This place isn’t spending money on caring for the creatures they choose to enclose and make money from. So sad DO...

It was our first visit here and even though there were a lot of different reptiles we had not seen before by the end of our visit we all felt kind of depressed for the living conditions of the animals and especially the birds who had no greenery or stimulation in their cages, the poor fox was running circles in his cage which is a sign of depression for animals. Friendly enough staff however a good clean up of the place is needed, especially for the animals sake. There was a very good display of shells and taxidermy animals here for education purposes. This place has the potential to be amazing but not there yet, has the room for maybe outdoor games and small playgym for younger kids.. had a hold of the pythons...
