Wednesday we set out for the Parrot Ville Bird Park. They’re a large netted enclosure full of birbs. As you enter you are issued a cup of seeds on a handle to attract the residents. It was an wonderful experience, and we did not get pooped on. But I did get bit this blue boy! Hiss!
After birbs we went over to the French side of the island to shop Spicymilo and get some spices.
The pool was right outside our door
Introducing ourselves to the birbs
It’s a cup with seeds in it. I call it, cup of seeds.
This galoot was a trouble maker.
Attitude.
Slowly I turned…
Step by step… Inch by inch…
Getting into that seed.
You lookin’ at me?
That’s not a seed!
Earlier this bird was pulling on my arm hair. This time I was ready to catch them in the act.
But I’ll be nice for Cat.
And these guys.
There was a lot of ‘bird in one hand, phone in the other
See?
We are not doing a ‘2 birds 1 cup’ joke.
“Ready for my close up”
Say “bird seed!”
Eek!
Little birds that look like penguins.
Keeping cool.
Budgie
Lovebirds.
Aw.
Eating seeds like they owns the place.
You can do it!
Caught in the act!
Flying to Cat’s cup.
Just birding around.
Taking the leap.
Penguins taking a bath.
Birding around the box.
We caught these two canoodling.
Cat and bird.
Pretty bird
Look over there!
There was a platform we could walk up to, and underneath was the nap spot.
Zzz.
Using the seeds as bait.
Aw, it’s a momma and baby.
Nope.The guide let us know these were just two birds that like to hang out together. Totally unrelated.
Found family.
Many colorful birds. Brown is a color.
Learning the ropes.
Dove snuggling up with Alex.
And there were animals other than birbs.
It’s a turtle!
Cast…
Spicymilo
Flying to Alex.
Video tip: put your camera down, pile some seeds in focus, wait for birbs.
“Oh dear, I wasn’t expecting company.”
