📣 THANK YOU FOR THE FANTASTIC RESPONSE SO FAR! 🦆

We're delighted to see so many people taking part in the Dawlish Aviary Consultation.

If you haven't yet completed the survey, there's still time to make your voice heard and help shape the future of the site.

More information on each of the options can be found within the consultation survey.

📢 Clarification: The GoFundMe set up to support the restocking of the Aviary was established independently by a private individual and is separate from any Council funding.

The Council had some initial discussions with the organiser regarding the fundraiser; however, the funds remain with the organiser and no detailed discussions have taken place regarding how those funds may be used.

We are now liaising with the organiser and will form a view once the consultation has closed and the Council has had an opportunity to consider the feedback received and the options available. 👍💙

The survey remains open until 21 October 2026 and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
