Sylvan Heights Bird Park

This Park is in Scotland Neck, NC and has an array of birds from all over the world. Some parts of the Park have areas where you can stroll through where the birds are and have unobstructed views to photograph them. They are reasonably tame, and used to seeing people, so you can get fairly close to them. There is even an area that has lots of Parakeets and other birds that you can feed. The children love the Parakeets because they light on them to get their bird seed sticks. It was a great place to photograph some unusual birds.

Great photos and sounds like a great place. 
Thank you for taking the time to look and post a response. It was a great place, but 2.5 hour drive from my home - one way - so would have liked to have stayed a bit longer for more photographs.
