As we had some "Tesco Days Out" vouchers to use, before the end of March, we went to Birdworld on Sunday, where we spent an enjoyable afternoon feeding dried mealworms to the birds.
These are just a few of the birds we saw:-Rufous-crowned Roller
Striated Caracara
Humboldt Penguin
Greater Rhea
European White Stork
Great Grey Owl named Boris
Eurasian Eagle Owl
Rainbow-billed Toucan
Bar-headed Goose
Red-legged Seriema
Superb Starling
Blue-crowned Motmot
Victoria Crowned Pigeon
This pigeon, from Papua New Guinea, is named after Queen Victoria and is the largest pigeon in the world. Like all pigeons and flamingos it produces milk for its young.
The Birdworld website has this page with lots more interesting facts about some of the birds.
