Visit to The Parrot Place




 

Yesterday B and I visited a local business called "The Parrot Place". We've heard about it and decided it was worth a peek.  Above on the left is a yellow ringneck Parrot and on the right are 2 small Cockatiels.  Click on each image for a larger view.




 

Not sure what the guy on the left is but B has a Blue Ringneck Parrot and a Green Ringneck Parrot on his shoulders. We were given a small bowl of food to feed them.

 

Some of the birds were in large aviaries depending on their type and other hand reared ones were in a large aviary together. On the left above is a Long Billed Corella who kept saying "hello" to us and on the right is a Crimson Winged Parrot.

 




On the left is a Eclectus and on the right is a pair of Black Feathered Cocktatoo named Elvis and Priscilla.

 




A pair of Galahs on the left and on the right was a very very noisy Blue and Gold Macaw near the front entrance.




 

Me feeding a Blue Ringneck Parrot on the left and on the right a Ruby Macaw.

 


Above on the left a pair of Sun Conures and on the right 2 Turtles in a pond

I got many more photos but this post would go in for a long time if I shared them all. We decided afterwards that maybe we should swap the cat for one of these friendly guys 😂

I have friends who have a parrot and he is the most intelligent and entertaining house guest. He is also rather tying. Am I permitted to say, as this is the first time I have seen a picture of you, that you have a the warmest of smiles because both your eyes and your mouth smile?

Behave yourself, Cat. I've never heard of that place, Amy. Is it in Kerikeri. I'd like to put it on my To Do list. Lovely photos.
Amypie said…
hi Pauline, yes it is about 5 minutes out of Kerikeri.
.... Poor kitty replaced by a parrot (haha)! They are so colorful and amusing! Also fun to see your picture! We visited a parrot rescue place near our Florida home. The lady told us that pet parrots often outlive their owners, since when well cared for they live easily pasty 100!

Many thanks for your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week !!

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
