TakeoverZoosday: Soar into the bird world with Our dedicated keepers; starting at 7:30 am, our keepers first ensure the parrots are comfortable. They not only clean the spaces but also check for eggs. It's snack time in the afternoon, with a delightful menu of corn, carrots, green beans, and blueberries.

These parrots are brilliant, almost like having toddlers around. They are known to be a bit mischievous back in their natural habitat. To enhance their experience, we provide various enriching activities for the parrots. They love interacting with our visitors in their enclosures and enjoy tearing up cardboard or paper. Come and meet our feathered friends for a fun and educational experience!

This post features our Bham Promise intern Mic🦜hael with the information and photos #takeoverzoosday experiences@bhampromise📷 @mikes_photograhpy_02
