This bird park was literally 200 meters from the entrance to the waterfall park - (cataratas) and was definitely worth the entrance fee - if you are Brazilian, it is cheaper. I pretended to have to sneeze and blow my nose so I wouldn´t speak and give myself away as a Gringo and Cassio said we were both Brazilian. It saved us 35% for this little fib. We did the same thing at the waterfall entrance too. You need to be able to speak the language to fool them though. We both think it is unfair to penalize tourists, but hey, it is still worth the trip. We took so many more pictures than this and I could write about these birds forever, but then, you would get bored. Trust me, if you go to Foz do Iguaçu, go to the Parque das Aves and see for yourself.
This place was huge and you are able to go right into the large enclosures and hang out with the birds. We spent probably 2 or 3 hours here. It was loud and full of the sounds of the many parrots, maccaws, tucans and the really loud flamingos and many, many other types of birds and reptiles and beautiful butteflies.

As you can see, we really got a chance to interact. Well, the butterfly came of it´s own volition, but the parrot was trained to pose for photos. She would really dig in her claws though! Very fun day.
