Zoo Veldhoven (NL) (30/10/22)

Описание: Edited by YouCut:https://youcutapp.page.link/BestEditor

A befriended couple invited me to join them and visit Zoo Veldhoven (NL). This zoo is known for the vast number of birds that they have in their care. And then particularly species of parrots, which my friends know to be my favourites. So it promised to be interesting and amusing.

A lot of the birds are rescued ones, from people who couldn't or didn't want to care for them anymore. Sad stories, on one hand. But on the other hand, the birds are lucky to have found a new home at this Zoo. They are not available anymore for sale nor adoption. Only can be sponsored. As much as possible, they are kept in pairs or in a flock, so they can have interaction.

We bought a little bag of nuts, which we were allowed to feed the birds. And they all knew very well how get the nuts out of between chopsticks! I kept a few nuts and tried to open them at home. Of course l needed pincers! But the parrots had no problems at all!

I don't mention all of the species, but you can see the large variety yourself.
Also some mammals are present : goats and sheep, donkeys, camels, lemurs and zebras, also one of my favourite animals.
We didn't even have the time to go see the alpacas, wallaby kangaroos and ibex.
Maybe a next time!

No music added.
I got the volume down of some clips, because of the visitors around me being too noisy. But not of all of the clips, so you can hear the (loud) sounds the birds make. Please notice the volume alert announcements, so you can adjust the volume.

I hope you enjoy this tour as much as we did!
