One species I would desperately love to see, while they still exist.

Lovely photo. Isn't it nice when you see such a rare creature being well cared for and obviously thriving.

Thanks.
It's very nice indeed and gives some hope to other endangered parrots.
The Lear's were visible in several aviaries around the park, including this large macaw exhibit, and the first aviary visitors encounter in the park. I was pleased to see that quite a few of them were happy to approach visitors - I've attached a photo below.

That Macaw has the same sheen and immaculate plumage you would normally see only on a wild bird. Loro Parc are the experts with Parrots.
