@Adge some more feathered beauties from today's visit to a bird sanctuary today. Thought you may like 😊
They are mostly rescued and rehomed birds in an enclosure bigger than our house.
These little guys were burrowing in the ground

This little guy befriended me. Sat on me until it was time to move on (was a guided tour).

Wow @Determined Very nice.
A Rainbow Lorikeet.
A Macaw (blue & gold type) from South America.
A type of Conure, also from South America.
A blue variation of Plumhead (or Mistacio) parrot.
The last one is a male Eclectus Parrot, from northern Queensland (the female is red).

Ahh lovely Thank you @Adge
There was a guide telling us all about them but with background buzz my hearing is no good. (Well I can hear ok just can't understand what people are saying unless They are looking directly at me) needless to say I missed most of what was being said.

Are you able to tell me what the last one is (pic on my shoulder) Alexandera?

The one that befriended you on tour @Determined Could be a young Alexandrine parrot.
It's missing the black ring around it's neck, so could be a juvenile.

They have way more than just these birds. I took so many photos I could not possibly post them all. + a lot of the photos I took have our children in them.
