I just came back from a holiday on an island in my country. I visited a mini bird park and here are the pics.

Wow!! Amazing photos. I have looked at them over and over again. There is a certain specimen that attracts my interest. From the first pic down it appears with a cokatoo in pic 3 and then alone in pic 6. What is it? It looks like a croos between a parrot and an owl, at least to me it does. Incredible pics giving karma.B)

Roger that is the bare eyed cockatoo, isn't it very pretty.

It is beautiful! I want one!!!...lol! Where is it native to?

I'm soooooooooo jealous ! We have nothing like that here !

The parrots are not caged. You can feed them from your hands but they will bite if you touch them.

 

This is a super duper tame Macaw, the only Macaw that allows you to stroke and cuddle. He is perching on my wife's shoulder biting her hat.

 

 

My baby Koko really missed me so much when we were away for 5 days. Koko was sticking to me like a leech when I was back home. I never expected a bird to miss its owner in such a way. What a sweet experience.

Bare eyed cockatoo from Australia and New Guinea. Are they even available in the pet trade? I wonder how much one of those chicks go for.:unsure:
