Pandemonium of Parrots Flocks to Birdland

Here at Birdland Park & Gardens we’ve welcomed some colourful new residents in recent weeks and is now home to 16 different parrot species.
Six new aviaries have been constructed, with two more to be completed in the coming months, where visitors can view the new species including the kea and long billed corella.
As part of the new features we are also pleased to be raising awareness about the conservation and welfare work being done by the World Parrot Trust.
The charity is currently focussing on raising funds and awareness to help support the endangered scarlet macaw.
Birdland Manager Simon Blackwell said: “We’re very pleased to be able to support such a worthy cause here at Birdland.
“The conservation work the World Parrot Trust undertakes is vital in raising awareness about the risks faced by all parrot species in the wild which include loss of habitat and capture for the illegal trade in wild birds.”
“The additional aviaries which have been constructed here are already home to a pandemonium of parrots, the collective term for a group of the birds, and they’ve settled in really well,” he added.
There are 387 species of parrots, known scientifically as Psittacine, and most species are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Australia, Asia, Central and South America, and Africa. You can see some of the parrots at Birdland here!
