Exotic Parrots and Birds

Exotic Bird Aviaries

Ashmore Palms' spectacular bird collection is a major feature of the Village. You can view the largest, privately displayed collection of Macaw Parrots in Australia, including Blue and Gold, Green Winged, Scarlet and Hyacinth Macaws. These Macaws (pronounced ma-cor) are native to South America but have made a new home here at Ashmore Palms. As well as the Macaws, there are many varieties of Australian native birds and parrots living in the aviaries here.

Fun Facts about Parrots

Parrots are characterised by their curved beak shape and for having four toes on each foot - two facing the front and two facing the back. This gives them dexterity that they are well known for and often utilise their feet to hold food items. Parrots are found world wide, although most are distributed throughout the warmer parts of the world. The majority of the species live in Australasia, South America and Central America. Parrots are also emotionally and intellectually advanced and most species are said to have the intelligence of at least a two year old child. They require specific care and constant stimuli to ensure they remain healthy in mind and body.
