Day 300 - October 26th

Today we visited Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. The Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, previously known as The Parrot Zoo, is Europe's only dedicated Parrot Sanctuary.  There are lots of animals to see including tigers, meerkats, lemurs, tapir. otters and reindeer but the real stars are the 100s of rescued parrots and parakeets.

There is a large walk-through aviary where visitors can get up close and personal with some of the birds.

I'm not sure if it was the colour of my coat but at one point I had three birds on me feeding from an apple core.

As well as birds in the walk-through aviary there were other birds which were happy to eat peanuts from our hands through the bars of their cages.

It was quite sad to see so many birds that had been abandoned or given up by their owners but it was also heartwarming to know that the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park has taken them in and will ensure they live out the rest of their lives in a safe and happy environment.
