Here at Liberty Acres you will find a variety of different bird species from all over the world. Pheasants are one of the most endangered groups of birds due to hunting and habitat loss.
Featured Bird
Edwards’s pheasant or Vietnam pheasant
(Lophura edwardsi)
The Edwards's pheasant (Vietnamese pheasant), which we raise here on the farm, is the most critically endangered pheasant that is thought to now be extinct in the wild. The World Pheasant Association along with Vietnature, private breeders and zoos are working towards the breeding and releasing of these captive birds into the wild.
This quiet bird is listed by International Union for conservation of Nature on the 100 most endangered species list and also listed as Critically Endangered on IUCN Redlist. Hunting and loss of habitat are a couple primary reasons for losses. Most researchers believe that they are now extinct in the wild and only remain in captivity. Last sighting was 20 plus years ago. A reintroduction program from captive birds in zoos and private breeders is underway by Viet Nature, WPA and EAZA to release into the wild.

We celebrated my mom’s 85th birthday here and had a fantastic time. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful when making arrangements or more kind the day of our event. Capybara encounter was great and so was visiting with the other animals. Thank you, Liberty Acres!

Such a unique and beautiful experience for a different than usual birthday outing. Adult kids loved feeding the animals. A wallaby with her baby poking out of the pouch so close to the fence you can watch the whole mama/baby dynamic? Emu eating out of a cup of feed while they stare you down? Golden pheasants running across your path? Why didn't we discover this haven long ago?

This was truly the most incredible experience. We loved getting to meet the capybaras and seeing so many other animals. Would highly recommend this to anyone that loves animals. The animals were all very sweet and docile. The staff was friendly and answered any questions we had. The gift shop had really cute items too!
