Project 365: Day 131 - Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary

What a time I had at the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary this past Monday, taking photos for their website, brochures and other things. I can see the passion they have for taking in and taking care of these beautiful birds that for one reason or another have ended up there. If you own a bird, or know of anyone who does, and you can no longer take care of it a bird sanctuary is a great option if you want to leave your pet in good hands. Most of these places run solely on our donations, so anything you can give will help.

Here are a few shots from the day...I love the colors on some of these birds :-)








I was able to get up close with these beautiful birds in their huge outdoor cages and in some cases I was able to feed them, as you can see with this beautiful African Grey Parrot...



...and here is a video I took with my iPhone while being in a smaller cage with a Macaw, Cockatoo and the above pictured rare African Grey Parrot...(this guy is a little timid in the video, but after a food offering he was more than good to go lol)



And one more for the road...A close up of a Moluccan Cockatoo. Boy what a great time!
