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?

That must be some cat. The blue ringed parrots are beautiful.

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.

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 !!

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
