Exploring a stunning garden

16 Sep 2024

A group of members from the Tewantin-Noosa Probus Club recently enjoyed a day excursion to Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World.

Their first stop was the café, where all enjoyed a hot drink before the Bird World tour. This was a guided tour led by an expert in the collection of birds.

There was a variety of birds in a large, enclosed space that swooped down to take treats from the guide’s hand.

The group had been warned before entering the aviaries that the parrots love to perch on visitors and anything shiny is irresistible to them.

Upon entering, members saw parrots from all over the world, as well as an impressive collection of Australian birds that were colourful and inquisitive. The macaws were spectacular, large birds with long tails and brightly coloured plumage. 

All members thoroughly enjoyed their visit to this outstanding attraction.
