A great day out with lots of interesting birds

Paradise Park is a great day out for folks who either live in Cornwall or who are visiting the county.

They have a wide variety of birds including many species of Parrot, owls, and even penguins. They also have a few farm animals which you're able to feed.

Activities at the park include an educational talk about the penguins where you're able to feed the penguins and even get up close and pet them (they're really cute up close), a free flying bird show where they demonstrate how they train the birds (this isn't the usual parrot on a unicycle but rather training the birds to live like they would in the wild).

Probably the best bit of the visit was being able to actually feed the Lorikeet Parrots. You're able to buy a small pot of nectar (for 50p) and then they fly over to you, sit on your hand (or arm, head, shoulder, pretty much anywhere they can find to perch) and then eat the nectar out of the pot.

Although it seemed a little bit pricey at £9.95 per ticket (adult), they did offer return tickets valid until March next year for £2.50 per ticket. I'd say it was really worth the ticket price though even if you don't buy a return ticket.
