Parques des Aves

One of the days that we were in Brazil we had the opportunity to visit a bird park. We saw a variety of toucans, hummingbirds, parrots, maccaws and many other birds. Some of the birds were in individual cages, but many were in large enclosures that we could walk through. We particularly liked the hummingbird enclosures as many hummingbirds zoomed by very close to us. These birds were small, it was a little scary when the maccaws and the toucans did the same. As you can see from the bottom pictures the birds were somewhat tame. The highlight for me was the seeing a toucan in the wild and we caught a picture of it.
