- The Peafowl Aviary of 1903 adjoins the north-west corner of the Bird House. It is a simple row of bird runs, a building type established in an agricultural context as hen-runs and pheasantries. It originally comprised wooden shelters behind wire-mesh covered runs. The shelters have been rebuilt in concrete blocks and corrugated-sheet roofing.
