    I think this must be one of the birds still free after they were all let out last year when a terrible fire devastated the park.
    It seems happy now nesting in the roof of the snack bar.

    It's in Maspalomas.
    We had a lovely day there.
    There are 2 free flight shows.
    One, Birds of prey and the other exotic.
    And an indoor Parrot show with them doing not so natural stuff.
    There are also lots of caged birds and different other animals.
    There is building work still going on after the terrible fire of September 2007 that is documented there on big story boards.
    They are building a dolphin pool .
    There is also a butterfly area with beautiful orchids.
    We loved it.

    When we were there we saw a lot of taxis and buses.
    The buses run every 30mins from
    Playa del ingles from 9.30
    Bahia Feliz San Agustin from 9.35
    Puerto Rico from10.00
    Faro Maspalomas from 10.40
    Numbers 451 / 45
    and 701 / 70
