When you are in the beautiful Pigeon Forge, TN area, bird lovers especially will want to stop at the Parrot Mountain & Gardens. This aviary has many birds with magnificent colors, and visitors can walk among them in beautiful gardens, and even feed some of them from their hand.
As you walk around the Parrot Mountain & Gardens, you can also see flowers that contain just as many colors as the birds. The Gardens are well-taken care of and very beautiful. When considered together, some have come away and called it "Paradise."
Many of the species that can be seen here are from the rainforest regions. The park is dedicated to preserving the various species that can be found there. They also will take in birds that have been abused and bring them back to health.
In the park, which is all outdoors, you will be able to see more than 300 different kinds of birds. They have different sized cages that guests can walk into and you will find many birds in each cage. Each cage has a different style of roof and several different types of birds.
The birds fly freely in the cages. There is also a large perch near the walkway and you can see many dozens of birds on the perches as you walk through. Some of the birds that you can expect to see here are toucans, magpie's, a silvery-cheek hornbill, parrots, cockatoos, Lories, and many more.
One cage is called the secret garden. It is magnificent. The landscaping is amazing and very beautiful - but so are the birds.
In another cage you can feed the birds right out of your hand. In fact, you can even have your picture taken with them. You can feed the Lories from a cup of nectar that you hold in your hand as you pass through their cage.
A beautiful garden with a waterfall is also there, along with benches that let you just sit down and relax as you listen to the calming sound. It is all beautifully landscaped and magnificent, just like Paradise.
All through the grounds you will see their beautifully landscaped gardens. There are tens of thousands of plants that you can see throughout these four acres. If you want to see the greatest amount of color, then you will want to be sure to visit in the fall.
Another exhibit that must be seen is the nursery. Here you will find many baby birds and they get hand-fed. You can also hand-feed some of them. If you like a particular bird here, you can also buy them. You will also be shown how to feed and care for your bird, too, and can buy any equipment you need at the store.
When you get hungry, you can buy food at the deli. Then go and sit down while you eat on the deck that overlooks the beautiful Smoky Mountains. At the same time, you can still hear the birds from the tropical forests - making it a perfect lunch.
The Parrot Mountain & Gardens in Pigeon Forge, TN, also welcomes groups and tours. For students, there is a seated educational demonstration that lasts between 30 to 45 minutes and they also present information about handling and feeding of the birds.
