The Sparkhill Park Bird Trail is a community project led by ecobirmingham, offering opportunities to families, individuals and visitors to get outside and enjoy this lovely green space, connect with the nature and its bird population in a playful way whilst learning some fun facts about our feathered friends.
Take a lovely walk around the park, spot the hidden bird sculptures, and scan the QR codes or visit our website to play videos like this and learn more about the birds that live there.
We hope you enjoy the bird trail and exploring Sparkhill Park, one of Birmingham’s great green spaces and getting to know our special feathered friends who live there.
This project was made possible thanks to the support of local artists Juneau Projects, local organisations, The Springfield Project (as part of their Sparkhill Child Neighbourhood Project), the Friends of Sparkhill Park as well as Chris Millward, founder of the Brum Biosphere network.
