So we left breakfast and headed to the Bird Park. We arrived at around 915am and they open at 930am. You park on the driveway between the bird park and the church.
They have a little musem with old pictures of the island, tools, implements, sewing machines but the real deal is the birds.
Adult admission is $10 which is a great deal and frankly too low.
At 930, they let us in and they hand you a cup with a stick attached filled with seeds. Thats when you get to meet the 170 plus parrots up front and personal. All friendly and come and sit on your cup sometiimes four at a time. Conures, amazons, senegals, ring necks and others. No big Mccaus which is good. These birds are beautiful and in flight. The aviary is huge. Every once in awhile a truck or outside predator bird will alert them and they all fly in a swarm around until calm. Beautiful to see birds in captivity able to fly freely.
Many, many pairs of birds mating and having babies which are also handfed at 2 weeks.
Easy to spend hours here with these beautiful birds.
Photos to follow.
Will definitely return every visit.
