MACAW MOUNTAIN BIRD RESERVE

On Sunday morning I visited the bird park set amongst trees alongside the river. It is a reserve for rescued birds such as macaws, parrots, toucans, owls and hawks. A lot of the birds were pets which were maltreated or whose owners could no longer keep them;some of them were injured birds;some macaws had developed stress and had pulled out their feathers. In this calm and protected environment and a varied diet they are thriving.Juan, the guide took us around explaining the different species we saw. It was a restful morning and well worth a visit. It would be worth spending most of the day there. They have a restaurant and also a swimming area in the river.
