The opening of Sylvan Heights Bird Park in 2006 emerged from the legacy of one man - Mike Lubbock, affectionately known to many as the Waterfowl Man.

The moniker is well deserved. Mike Lubbock is considered by many avian biologists to be the most intuitive and prolific waterfowl aviculturalist in the world. From his early work in England at the Wildfowl Trust to his permanent move to America, where he founded Sylvan Heights Waterfowl in 1985, Milke Lubbock was single-minded in his mission to unlock the mysteries of breeding birds.

Follow the adventures of The Waterfowl Man as he evades danger on his mission to protect the birds he so urgently pursued in the wild. Mike Lubbock traverses rivers, jungles, and ice flows; faced hazards on multiple continents, endures plane crashes and shipwrecks, all to give waterfowl a chance to survive in a world rapidly losing its wilderness places.
