So after we received the 50 new birds in the aviary from Mabula, we have been increasing our food supply there every morning and evening because they are more birds to feed. We have been feeding them fruit bits and seeds but thanks to one of the first years we had a new invention to get the birds to come closer and interact with us during feeding times.
Dean created a seed biscuit that can hang in trees or you can hold onto it for the birds to come eat. Since this, they have become very tame and they are very clever.
There are a couple of parrots amongst them and they are picking up the noises of the other birds and the whistles we make to get their attention. They will come sit on your shoulder or head and they will eat out of the plate when you have food in your hands. This is a very nice experience for the guests and we will make use of this mostly for the kids and the elder people that are more interested in birds.

These are the first ones that really came to make friends but word is spreading and one of these days we are going to need to check ourselves before leaving the aviary to make sure there isn't one hiding on you head!
