Enjoy personal encounters with some of our colorful feathered inhabitants. Depart the cruise port or hotel near Philipsburg in an air-conditioned minivan. Listen to informative commentary from your driver as you traverse the village roads and green hillsides on route to the bird park. On arrival explore the garden habitat of exotic and colorful species of birds. Staff will disseminate information on the species of birds at the park. Wander leisurely amidst species such as black headed caique, brown throated conure, ring neck parakeet, sun conure and others. Feeding the birds is fascinating & unique, a truly up-close encounter.
