The highlight of your entire vacation may happen when you and or your children walk into the large Lory aviary and have a bunch of beautiful young birds vying for your nectar, eating right out of your hand, after which you will undoubtedly hear the kids ask "can we PLEASE take one home with us!!!" The managers, Zach, Isabel & Fletcher (& Jacob!), are EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all areas concerning the birds and can answer whatever questions arise that their very knowledgeable and friendly staff may not be able to answer.!

Every day, thousands of acres of tropical rainforest are cleared and burned, thus destroying birds, plants, and habitats, causing them to become endangered or possibly extinct.

Come See & Hear Beautiful Tropical Birds from Different parts of the World!
