I would recommend going in the earlier part of the morning, our experience was in the middle of the day (in February) and the birds were very hot and not as interactive as my previous visit. The birds are just incredibly beautiful and the pictures with them are fantastic to keep. The grounds are just gorgeous and they provided a beautiful back drop to our shared lunch. Loved this experience.”
