One of the guides informed us that there are flocks of more than 450 species in the bird sanctuary. Many shows take place for the visitors, my son had booked the tickets for lunch with parrots. Parrots are such wonderful creatures, the lady there was very sweet and was well-spoken. It is a half an hour show and there are many other shows that you can go for, one that we missed was hawk arena, by the time we reached the tickets were sold out. You have to go well in advance to get the tickets.
