Birds of Eden

Right next to Monkeyland is Birds of Eden-this hubungous aviary. They had some crazy pretty birds and some funky ones. There were lots of parrots, flamingos, pheasants and all other kinds. You just walk around the forest and see what you can see (and hope you don't get pooped on). The birds are very used to humans so they have no problem landing on you and stealing your jewelry if you don't hide it. They also didn't have a problem thinking my rat's nest for hair was good nest-making material. I was excited that we saw a Knysna Lourie, a native specifically to Knysna!
