Harewood House Trust said the garden required a £4m refurbish, which was 'too much to afford'.
Harewood House has announced it will close its bird garden after more than 50 years due to financial pressures.
"We must make this change and focus on the long-term ambition of this wonderful place, and on the opportunities that Harewood has to support our environment, represent the people and the communities that live in this area today, and to continue to develop Harewood, to serve its best purpose into the future.
The trust said it was unable to make the bird garden "the place that we, and you, all want it to be".
