Birds. How much do we really know about these bipedal,warm-blooded,oviparous vertebrate animals?
aah... the feathered creatures which circle above us daily- for those of us who stay outside the city smog zone, we get to see the more, dare I say 'common' types, but there's a whole range of the feather-clad adventurers that we are missing out on. The only place to go and check out on what you've clearly been missing out on is at the Umgeni River Bird Park.
Durban holds one of the finest bird parks in the world. On arrival you can view both indigenous and exotic birds. Not just in one great big boring cage either. No sir. You get to glide along the walk through avariesYou get to play like you entered into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, only the bird equivalant, no eating the birds mind you, just viewing them in different habitats. You can watch bird shows even- 'the theatrical elements of flying' would be an apt title. Umgeni River Bird Park.
You walk to the differing grounds of the Cockatoo's, Arra's and Lories. You can appreciate the vegetation,waterfalls,perches and Paddocks while viewing how the worlds rarest birds live. You'll get to see, amongst others, Flamingo's,Macaws, Cranes , and Toucans. So take a camera, document and enjoy!!!!!!!Umgeni River Bird Park.
