A cool little place not far from the Kerikeri stone store is The Parrot Place Bird Display and Breeding Centre.

The centre hosts about 300 birds from around the world, but by far the most entertaining thing about your visit is that you get to interact up close and personal with some of their stars!

It’s quite a thrill to have these exotic beauties land on you and and chatter in your ear. Buy a cupfull of birdy nibbles on the way in to ensure that you will have plenty of avian friends all the way through the centre!
