Très spécial a voir, je n’avais jamais vu quelque chose de ce type auparavant! L’endroit vaut la peine si c’est sur votre chemin, mais je ne crois pas que ça vaille la peine de faire un gros détour pour y aller.

Amazing place, far exceeded our expectations. There's about 50 creative birdhouse to explore, along a well maintained path. Definitely recommend this as a stop - its short and unique, fantastic work by folks who maintain this.

Fun little diversion. The path isn’t clearly marked so we walk the same areas a couple times. Very interesting place.

The amazing Birdhouse City is a miniature community of whimsical hand-crafted birdhouses depicting the unique character, culture, and history of Prince Edward County. Each birdhouse rests high on its own platform and pole and provides a safe place for birds to nest in.
Located at the Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area just outside of Picton, the City offers a one-of-a-kind, outdoor experience for people of all ages. I especially loved the Mustang Drive-In which is playing “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock!
Paths are cut into the grass and the houses are about 12’ high. A tiny bit buggy.
It is managed by volunteers in partnership with Quinte Conservation.
Allow a minimum of 20 minutes for your visit. The site is a couple acres. It is said there are over 100 charming birdhouses!
Parking (paid) is available on site, but I recommend a visit to the Macaulay Heritage park first. You can find the tombstone of William Pierce - Died Feb 31st !? And see the magnificent Georgian house.
There is a FREE parking lot on the right of the house. Behind the small barn is a path through the forest which will lead you to Birdhouse City in under 15. It is extremely well-maintained and has benches. You can extend your visit to include a hike.
Make sure you include this stop on your visit to PEC!

When I planned to visit birdhouse city I did not expect it be so badly maintained . The bird houses are very cute and I would have enjoyed the place a bit more if some effort had been put to cut the grass and remove the weeds at least. It looks a bit eerie and unkept. If that was the vibe they were going for then good job.
I saw small snake as well on the way up. So please be careful.

Hands down one of my favourite parts of my trip to Prince Edward County. It is an approximate 5 minute drive from Downtown Picton. The hand-crafted birdhouses are all adorable and I appreciated how they paid homage to Prince Edward County. The birdhouses are situated on a well maintained grassy hill. While there were other people walking through, it is a large enough walking path that you can pass people easily. It's fun walking through and hearing all of the birds communicating with each other. It's evident how much passion the volunteers have for maintaining the area. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

Super cute place to walk around. The tick notice scares people but the area is mowed so it's not too dangerous if you stay out of the tall grass. I hope the parking fees go to the upkeep of the birdhouses as they are very pricey for the area. Nice area to walk around.

Cute walkable path (10min). Fun project that turned out as a permanent installation
