At Free Flight, We're All About the BIrds... and Koi
See our resident birds up close and even interact with several of them.
Visitor education and parrot re-socialization program
A major part of a parrot's day in the sanctuary is spent interacting with the people who visit. On an average day, about 50 people of all ages spend time walking among the birds, talking with them and offering the food we provide to feed them. It is through this daily routine that the birds become re-socialized. They come out into the yard each day and return to the security of their own personal sleeping cages at night.
Staff and docents are delighted to answer questions and provide little gems of wisdom about parrot care.

Art from our Admirers
“Did You Know?
Koi have molars located in the back of their throat used for crushing large pieces of food foraged from the bottom of their pond.”
