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 😂

 Linking up with Our World Tuesday, Tuesday Treasures and My Corner of the World.

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.

Amy 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!

It is a great place to visit! Did you see Elmo? He was fun when we visited a few years ago.

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