Birds of Eden

Last Tuesday we went with Goedele's visiting family and Estelle to a bird park, a place we had been putting off going to for far too long...

Birds of Eden keeps tropical birds in the world's largest dome (2 hectares so larger than the UK millennium dome and the Eden Project) and spans a gorge of indigenous forest. The sanctuary provides a better life for 3 000+ previously caged birds. It has got an 80 ton structure with 1.2km of walkways, a 200 seater amphitheatre, and even a little walk-behind waterfall.



But the real attraction are of course the wonderful colours of all of the birds, and how the more sociable ones come to get food or scratched in the neck...
