Parrots, parrots, parrots !!!
Lincolnshire Wildlife Park的点评
点评:This was out of season so quiet, but staff were taking the opportunity to refurbish animal and bird housing. Marvelous collection of different types of parrots and other birds, many ex unwanted pets, over 1000 in total but divided by type. Many of the birds are in poor condition when they arrive so they have to be quarantined, assessed and treated before they can join the main collection. it was interesting to see this process in action and there was a good explanation of how this worked. there was a a couple of walk through aviaries, for budgies, and parrots. There is a warning about removing jewelry before entering the parrot aviary as they are thieving little devils so be warned ! We'd removed jewelry but within seconds they had the buttons off the tops of our peaked caps, plus a pin badge.... and nearly had my partner's hearing aid. There are other animals too, including meerkats, otters and tigers. All animals looked well cared for with fresh bedding and food, although we felt very sorry for the solitary lion who had recently lost his brother (I think) and was roaring rather sadly. Other facilities include a gift shop and nice cafe. Overall enjoyed our visit, staff were happy to stop and explain things, and we would go back when in the area.
翻译:当时正值淡季,所以这里很安静,但工作人员正趁此机会翻新动物和鸟类的住所。这里汇集了各种各样的鹦鹉和其他鸟类,其中许多是以前无人认领的宠物,总共超过1000只,按种类分类饲养。许多鸟儿刚来时状况不佳,因此必须先进行隔离、评估和治疗,才能加入到主要动物群中。亲眼目睹这个过程很有意思,工作人员也详细地解释了其中的原理。这里有几个可供游客步入的鸟舍,分别饲养着虎皮鹦鹉和普通鹦鹉。进入鹦鹉鸟舍前,工作人员会提醒游客摘掉首饰,因为鹦鹉们都是些偷东西的小家伙,所以一定要小心!我们摘掉了首饰,但几秒钟之内,它们就偷走了我们鸭舌帽上的纽扣,还有一枚徽章……差点还偷走了我伴侣的助听器。这里还有其他动物,包括狐獴、水獭和老虎。所有动物看起来都得到了很好的照顾,铺着干净的垫料,吃着新鲜的食物。不过,我们很同情那只孤零零的狮子,它最近似乎失去了兄弟,发出悲伤的咆哮。其他设施包括礼品店和不错的咖啡馆。总的来说,我们很享受这次参观,工作人员很乐意停下来为我们讲解,下次有机会我们还会再来。
