Baby peafowl 🐣

Not quite the big, colourful display you expect… yet 👀

These little ones might look plain now,
but it’s all part of how they grow and stay protected early on.

Every stage has a purpose.

👇 Did you know baby peacocks look like this?

Meet Glenn… 🦜

Didn’t want the birds.
Still not entirely convinced… 😂

But somehow ended up helping with them,
feeding them,
and giving them attention when it counts.

That’s how it goes.

Every afternoon… same story 😂

The locals show up uninvited…
straight in for afternoon tea.

Wild ducks?
Absolutely.

Do they care?
Not even a little.

👇 Can you spot the freeloaders?

One of these is not like the others… 👀

Meet Bob… the duck 🦆
living his best life with the geese 😂

No one told him he’s different —
and honestly… he doesn’t care.

👇 Did you spot Bob straight away?

Every bird has their favourite 👀

Some go crazy for seeds…
others for fruit…
and some just want whatever you’re eating 😅

Treats aren’t just rewards —
they’re enrichment, motivation, and a way to build trust.

But like anything… balance matters.

👇 What’s your bird’s absolute favourite treat?

Quick one 👇

How many can you spot? 👀

Look closely… not all of them are obvious.

This is what enrichment + space looks like —
movement, choice, and natural behaviour.

Meet Ally… 🦜

She’s the one behind everything parrot.
Care, handling, behaviour — and the person you speak to for boarding.

What looks like a simple moment…
is built on experience, trust, and understanding each bird as an individual.

That’s the difference.

When you leave your parrot with us,
you’re not just booking a space —
you’re trusting someone who truly knows them.
