Birdwatch of all countries and peoples - envy! I was in a place where you would have to be tight. I mean, the heartbeat would increase, my hands would shake, the clarity of thought would disappear. The Brazilian bird park in Foz do Iguacu is simply an awesome place to hang out with tropical birds. Who is not here! From huge ostriches to microscopic hummingbirds! Even I, usually cold-spirited to any animalistic shooting, lost my mind here and clogged the memory card to the eyeballs. This park is absolutely amazing and must visit!

We got there from the Argentine Puerto Iguazu, where we spent the night and watched the waterfalls. One day we looked at the waterfalls of the Argentine side, on the second - went to Brazil. It is very simple to do this: you buy a ticket for a regular bus to the waterfalls. And they leave the bus station every hour. It costs 80 pesos in both directions.

They crossed the Argentine border, where they stood in line for a short time and received exit stamps. On Brazilian, we did not even get off the bus. The bus attendant took the passports, went to the border guards and returned them to us with a Brazilian stamp five minutes later.

Then he spent a small educational program and talked about the bird park, advised him to visit it first, and only then to go to the waterfalls. In the park, the entrance fee can be paid both by Argentinean pesos and local realities.

How awesome there! It is a pity that I safely forgot the name of most of the birds that I shot. I hope the community of birdwatch will help me restore the truth! At the beginning of the park are several aviaries with flamingos, ducks and a pair of large aviaries with parrots.

And almost immediately the entrance to the aviary, where a lot, in my opinion, hangs out of the most photogenic birds - toucans - and other birds.

All birds are at arm's length, even surface. People actively take selfies with birds, I shoot point-blank, make portraits of handsome and beautiful women.

And the toucans! ABOUT! What are they cool! And there was a strong impression that they were posing) And so they turn their heads, and so on!

For me, toucans are the main characters of this park. You can see them on a cloud of souvenirs, magnets, figurines. Although in wildlife, I did not see a single one there.

Yes, you know what else? There is wi-fi there! I really couldn’t connect, but I didn’t really try) You can immediately upload the photo to social networks. Civilization, everything is thought out)

What kind of birds are not there! These birds were impressive. There is no scale that would allow us to understand its size, but they are very small!

Look at this handsome (zu)! Wingspan like an Airbus! Help, gentlemen, poultry houses, hto ce?

Do you speak peacocks? Heh! How many times have I said this phrase near an aviary with colorful birds, I can’t even remember ...

Toward the end of the ring route, a huge aviary with parrots was waiting for us. What flowers there weren’t! Parrots rushed right over the heads of tourists, trying to ruin the hair. Someone constantly walked underfoot and picked out worms.

And who tried to drag larger prey into the nest. This one nearly took Yura. Barely beat off!

From the iridescent shades of plumage just rippled in my eyes!

In total, more than 1000 birds of approximately 150 species live here, many of which are rare or endangered. I really wanted to remove the hummingbirds that huddled in another aviary with tropical butterflies. He took off, but could not fly, the painfully difficult task.

Almost at the exit are several aviaries with owls. Such handsome men were hanging out in one of them. My favorite photo from the park, I once showed it. In this view, all the discontent of sleepy people)
