The Bird Garden at Harewood House had a small collection of exotic bird species, of which more than 5 were listed as vulnerable or endangered by the [[IUCN]]. It was a member of the [[British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums]] (BIAZA).

Birds that could be seen in the garden included [[Humboldt penguin]]s, [[Chilean flamingo]]s, [[Duyvenbode's lory|Duyvenbode's lories]] and [[macaw]]s.

In January 2023 the trustees of Harewood announced their decision to close the Bird Garden: the exact date would be announced later in the year. The Farm Experience would  remain open. The area occupied by the Bird Garden would be redeveloped as a new woodland garden, including reinstating some historic walks. New homes would be found for all the birds. The trustees said that the last inspection had "identified many problems with the site's physical infrastructure" which would require £4&nbsp;million to be spent, and they "had to make the incredibly difficult decision to close this part of the Harewood experience".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Newton |first1=Grace |title=Harewood House in Yorkshire announces closure of Bird Garden attraction after 50 years – after concerns it had become 'out of date' |url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/harewood-house-in-yorkshire-announces-closure-of-bird-garden-attraction-after-50-years-after-concerns-it-had-become-out-of-date-3981250 |access-date=25 January 2023 |date=10 January 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Harewood Statement |url=https://harewood.org/harewood-statement/ |website=Harewood House |publisher=Harewood |access-date=25 January 2023 |date=January 2023 |archive-date=9 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231209053037/https://harewood.org/harewood-statement/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
