Parrots
Parrots are tropical birds that are often kept as pets, their intelligence, beauty, dexterity and great companionship have made them highly interactive animals.
In our Park, we feature a wide variety of Parrots, some of which were either rescued or donated, others adopted – there have also been a great amount of domestic birds that found their way to our Park and were kept for treatment before finding them a forever home.
In our Park, you can find Blue and Gold Macaws, Orange Winged Amazons, Green Winged Macaws and a great Aviary full of Budgies, Love Birds, Cockatiels and other small birds.
Parrots Presentation
During the Parrot Presentation, you will meet a number of our star Parrots, showing their dexterity skills in a visual display, flying back and forth to our devoted Animal Carers demonstrating their strength and skills as well as their ability to climb and manipulate objects.
Parrot Interaction
The Parrot Interaction is a 15 minute session where under the supervision of one of our Animal Carers you will be able to touch and interact with the Parrots whilst learning a few skills to interact with them better.
Here you will also feed the animals and enter the Aviary to fully experience the magic of the wonderful birds in our Park.
