Just got home from cruise & what a wonderful time. We got to go to the Nassau Bird Sanctuary. We hand fed Lorry parrots with apple slices. They were landing right on my head & arms, etc. There were several Macaws sitting out on perches. I believe 2 of them were Greenwings. One of them kept talking to me then hanging upside down & doing pull ups. He then put his head down for head scratches & then jumped on my arm. It was awesome. We also got to see the famous marching flamingos.

While waiting for our flight home we went to Gatorland in Florida. They had like 10 parrots there that were donated by owners that could no longer care for them. They also had an aviary with a huge number of parakeets & 2 sun conures. We got to go inside with seed sticks & the birds swarmed all over us. I had 4 on each arm, one on my head & one on my chest. It was soooo much fun.

Mr. Precious was thrilled that I was home & won't leave my side. Picking up 5 yr. old Conure tomorrow & looking forward to it.:green::D

Don't suppose you got to take photos???

Been to Nassau, but that was to change planes and head to Eleuthra. Didn't get to stay in Nassau for any length of time to really explore... and if I could have, and had known about the sanctuary, I definitely would have loved to go! I'm jealous!


Glad you enjoyed your trip!
