Hi Everyone!! I had the best birthday gift ever going to the flying high bird sanctuary. This was the best day some parrots were in cages but the rest were free under a big avaiy. There were 3000 parrots but i didn't see them all as they hide in the trees but i did see a lot of parrots in cages and out free i had them sitting on my shoulder to. I don't think i saw 3000 parrots that is why i am going back again..As promised here are some photo's i have a few to post. I thought i'd share my best day ever. I thought i'd share a few photo's with you ill add some more tomorrow. I plan on going back to this wonderful bird Sanctuary before Christmas I just loved it. My mother even loved it and so did her friends. Oh by the way the address and phone number on the card is fine to post here had permission.

Oh Lyn, I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time on the bird sanctuary, those pictures are beautiful.
The dark green Eclectus parrot is very friendly and he really loves to be on people's heads! I love that picture of the Eclectus spreading its wings while on your mother's head!
Thank you so much for sharing these precious photos of your big day spent at the sanctuary.

Thank you Aluz. The bird sanctuary was fantastic. We were greeted by a cockatoo that said hello and waved his foot i tried to get a video of it but he was to quick and stopped when i had the camera ready so i didn't get that most of the parrots talk. Glad you liked the photo's.

They are such stunning birds! Those macaws in particular! I can see why you look worried in the first couple of pics!

The quakers are gorgeous too .... they all are!!!

 

[AnimalKaperz]

AND .... that Golden Pheasant ... who on EARTH could possibly kill and eat such a stunning animal, hey?

Thanks Lynda. Yes I was a little worried to start with but then it got a bit easy once I new there big beaks weren't going to bite me. Glad you liked the photos.

You are so right Lynda they are beautiful.

Amazing pictures!! All of the birds are beautiful.
I honestly don't think I'd have the guts to have two macaws on me at the same time. Those beaks freak me out!

I have a soft spot for Sun Conures. I just LOVE those colours. One day, I will own one.

 

[BudgieSweet]

Wonderful pictures! It looks like everyone had a great time!!

Michelle I wasn't expecting the to Macaws to sit on me either he said one would come on and then slowly the other one would come on. A bit scary at first it was exciting to have them on me. I have never held these birds before. I am going back there again. I loved it. Glad you liked the photos.

Hi, Lyn,

What a great adventure.!!! The trip is a wonderful Birthday gift. Great pics to remember the wonder of the experience. Thanks for sharing. I loved the golden pheasant. Blessings, :budgie:Jo Ann

 

[Impeckable]

What a fantastic place, I would be in my elements there amongst the birds, I don't blame you for going back, really glad you posted the photo's Lyn, thanks for letting us share your wonderful experience

 

[Budgiekeet]

What a great place that was that you got to go to for your birthday. I would love to go to a place like that. One of the zoos here has all the birds but you cannot interact with them like you were. Looks like you guys had a great time getting close with the parrots. The pictures were all awesome.

On the picture labeled "can I jump on you" who is speaking you or the bird ha-ha!

 

[woodsy]

You lucky Gal what a treat, I can see that visit to the bird's would make a wonderful day. Glad it was rewarding and good fun for all of you. Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing.

 

[Kate C]

Wonderful pictures Lyn. I am so glad you had a great day. So many beautiful birds to be able to interact with. Of course the Alexandrine is my particular favourite. Might be just a big green bird but such a lovely nature.

Thank you. It was like being in a store where you have so many things to see but I had so many parrots to see it was fantastic.

Wonderful pictures Lyn. I am so glad you had a great day. So many beautiful birds to be able to interact with. Of course the Alexandrine is my particular favourite. Might be just a big green bird but such a lovely nature.

Thank you Kate. There were so many birds or see but I didn't see them all. Next time I'll spend a day there looking around you can have something to eat and drink there as well the cassia weary was up the back and I couldn't get a photo of him he was in with the emus etc. I didn't go to close to the huge kangaroos.

Thank you Deb. If you come to Bundaberg I'll take you there. It is breeding season they have breeding boxes there for them to breed and one parrot thought we were a bird and fell in love with us it was funny... I just had a wonderful time. You can check this out on Facebook. I do have a little video. Deb you would love the cockatoo as when we came in he waved to us with his foot and said hello I couldn't get it on video he was to quick.
