Waddesdon Manor: The Aviary
The Aviary is contemporary with the manor house, certainly being in place by 1889. Possibly inspired by an aviary at his childhood home, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild envisaged the Waddesdon Manor aviary as a focal point in the gardens. During house parties hosted by the Baron the collection of exotic birds was brought out and the Baron and his guests fed them by hand. Nowadays the aviary serves a scientific purpose in breeding some endangered species. The statue in the formal garden is of Apollo and a goat.
