The Sparkhill Park Bird Trail is the culmination of a partnership between ecobirmingham, The Friends of Sparkhill Park, The Springfield Project as part of the Sparkhill Child Friendly Neighbourhood.
It provides opportunities to connect with the bird population found at the park, learn some fun facts about each and get inspired by efforts to protect these species, some of which on the decline.
The trail was made with the support of artists Juneau Projects who led creative workshops in summer 2026 where local children produced the final clay birds, and nature champion, Chris Millward from Team4Nature, who recorded some fun facts about each of the bird. The recordings can be found on the online resource supporting the bird trail.
With our sincere thanks to Birmingham City Council’s Trees and Park Departments for their support and encouragement.
Getting there:
Parking space is limited around the park, we recommend using active or public transport (bus numbers 5 and 6 stop nearby).
