More Bird World Pics.

[Peta]

Mr Hyacinth again, just because I love that guy

This little madam would stick her head through the bars and ask for a tickle as you walked past.

A quick preen before the pics.

A quick nap

 

[Peta]

wonder what we can get up to next.

Sitting like a pretty boy

We are going again next week so should be able to take more pics.

Beautiful! I like the one stickin its head out of the cage!!! So Cute!

 

[Peta]

The little cag who kept sticking her head out of the cage was a real darling, she knew just when to put her head out and when to keep it in. When she stuck it out she would ask for scritches, lol. She used to be someones pet, the owner had died I believe and had asked Bird World to keep her for the rest of her life. She gets a lot of interaction from the staff there. I could take her home with me if they would let me. She was georgous. :07:

All I can say is B.E.A.Utifull.
That looks like a wonderful place to visit. Lucky you hey.

 

[Peta]

Bill it really is a wonderful place to visit. The main flight aviary is one of the biggest in the UK, more than enough room for all of the large birds they have flying around in there.

 

[Lilly Bird]

Wow! That is SO cool! If i ever travel around there i want to go!

 

[Peta]

Sarah you would really love it there, they also have other animals/birds its a great fun day.

 

[Alison]

You really captured their beauty in those shots. Good job!

 

[Peta]

Thanks Alison, I have loads of the hyacinth, but then he was so easy to get, each time you pointed the camera at him over he came, A real poser. lol

 

[Lilly Bird]

Aww How cute!

 

[Peta]

He really was a little or I should say big darling.

 

[Lilly Bird]

Ha Ha! So what other animals are there??

 

[Peta]

Well they have birds of all sorts, birds of prey, toucans, emus ponys rabbits guinea pigs chickens pigs goats sheep. They also had a very rare bird the Bali Starling and apparently there are only 12? in the wild. Bird world had two pairs who they are hoping will breed, they are such pretty birds. Will have to try to get some pics of them as my last ones didn't come out too good.

Take a look at this pretty little guy.

Scroll down the page and you will see the bird on the right hand side. How pretty is he?

 

[Lilly Bird]

Wow, it says by the pic, as few as SIX may live in the wild, how sad...

 

[Peta]

Yeah, couldn't remember how many but knew it wasn't a lot. It is very sad. Don't think people will realise what they are doing by taking birds out of the wild, until they are all gone.

I was reading in the paper the other day about the CAG being in danger cos so many people are now trapping the wild birds. Which is a disgrace as they are so easy to come by from breeders. Just goes to show people are willing to buy birds at a very low price, usually that means "Wild Caught"

 

[bill]

yes its a real shame. When people stop buing then the birds will stop being collected.What a glorious day that will be for bird lovers and people in general.

 

[Peta]

Oh won't that be something to celebrate. :59: :59: :59: :59:
