These majestic birds were introduced to Corsham by the Methuen family in the 1920s, and they've become an integral part of our town's rich history ever since. While their official residence is Corsham Court, you'll often find them making themselves at home on our cobbled pavements and historic streets. 📍

So next time you're strolling through Corsham, don't forget to keep an eye out for these beautiful birds! 🌈🦚
