the project started with mr christos christoforou's love of birds & wildlife. the zoo was originally going to be for mr christoforou's private use to house his enormous private collection of birds, but he decided to open the then park to the public, so that they may also enjoy the splendours of his private collection & it also being a unique park in cyprus. mr christoforou's other aim was to educate the local community about the importance of caring & conserving all bird & animal life. the zoo took 3 years to complete & it was finally opened to the public in september 2003
