Malta Bird Park

Last week my sister and cousin came to stay, and whilst they were here we went to Malta’s National Bird Park.

I have mixed feelings about this zoo, it was sad seeing some of the animals in enclosures, but the place was clean, the staff were friendly and the park provides a source of education in a country where illegal bird hunting is common.

Once we FINALLY got to the park (Claire led us on a wild goose chase for nearly an hour) we were able to see some of the amazing exotic birds that Malta has. From the scavengers to the hunters, the pretty to the peculiar, and the camouflaged to the colourful, there was an array of different birds and animals to see. 

 On our way around the park we managed to catch feeding time. We had particular enjoyment watching the park keepers throwing fish at the Pelicans.
