Thanks for sharing those links...I went though several!
Love the Peacock story...

and as far as parrot jungle, I was there in March. IT is definitly something for any parrot person to see....I spent the entire day there feeding and talking with the birds.

Every type of parrot is there, including the St Vincents, Black Palm, Red Vented too, and a gorgeous blue mutation yellow nape.
