This beautiful little bird is a swift parakeet from Australia, we have 2 pairs who live not surprisingly in our Australian aviary! In the wild they are critically endangered, recent devastating bushfires will not of helped. We are hoping our pairs will breed in the Spring.

We would like to wish Sophellies good luck for the future, they will be greatly missed @ kirkleatham. We have broke the news to blackwing the peacock-who spent most of his time there-he's not taking it well! Today he's had boring corn Instead of his favourite chips n cheesecake!

Ourselves and the whole kirkleatham site is currently closed due to the current virus situation. Strange & worrying times-but when the sun is out & the animals are going about their business oblivious to everything, all seems normal! A peacock in the daffodils to cheer people up!

Our white faced owls have 2 babies that have just left the nest box-- owls fan their wings to look big and intimidating--even as small fluffy owlets! #owlet #owl
