La diversité des habitats de ce parc (Prairies, étang, boisements...) permet au cortège d'oiseaux des jardins de le peupler aisément. Par exemple Pițigoi albastru, Pițigoi mare, Pițigoi sur, Măcăleandru ou encore Mierlă et Pițigoi codat. 4 pics peuplent ou sont de passage dans le parc Ghionoaie verde, Ciocănitoare pestriță mare, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică et Ciocănitoare de stejar. Au niveau des oiseaux d'eau, Corcodel mic , Lișiță ou encore Găinușă de baltă et Stârc cenușiu sont de la partie. Il y a aussi un reposoir à Pescăruș râzător sur l'un des étangs.
