Today, 13 June 2011 marks the Queen's official birthday. As a family we started the morning with a drive to Grants on Sherbrooke. This place has been recommended by friends of ours. It is only about one driving hour from our place and hence the closest bird place we are aware of.
Prior to leaving we had to get a huge bag of sunflower seeds. Was a good recommendation as well as the birds there were quite picky but loved the sunflower seeds.
Overall a great place to be, although we arrived a bit late, i.e. after the tourist buses. Still, we got to feed some Rosellas and Sulfur Crested Cockatoos.
The experience was great, apart from the fact that Sydney's finger got picked by one of the Cockatoos. No wonder she preferred to feed the smaller Rosellas.
