Bird Kingdom at Niagara Falls

 If you love photography, and taking pictures of nature in particular (especially birds), you will LOVE Bird Kingdom at Niagara Falls. They usually have deals online (either group on, or through your workplace, or even on their site), so check online before visiting. Paid parking is available right under the attraction, and you need at least 2 hours (close to 2.5) for the whole attraction.

They have a small reptile section ahead of the main exhibits. Don't miss this - as some of the iguanas, lizards, and snakes are a sight to see in themselves. Just adjacent to this exhibit is where they have some talking birds.

These talking birds can be a mouthful! They rotate the birds, so you may get a different experience on each visit. The trainers are quite friendly and the birds enjoy a good rapport with the staff. They are not in cages, and fly around occasionally. 

Each of these talking birds have their own personality, and some are more talkative than others.

Usually these Amazon parrots (I am guessing their are parrots) are the loudest, and enjoy performing for the cameras. You can talk to one of the trainers and they are usually happy to put on a small "performance" for you.

For many of us from Bangladesh, it's the closest you can come to some of the exotic birds from back home, including a mynah bird, which can be thousands of dollars here in Canada. 

From this exhibit you proceed to the small birds aviary.

It's fun watching these little birds build nests, eat, fly around (inches over your head at times!) and have a ball.

The large birds aviary is next, and there are lots and lots and lots of big birds, all flying around (and some not flying), eating, relaxing, all within an arm's reach.

Some of these birds allow you to get really close.

Bird Kingdom is a (relatively) cheap fun activity for the whole family at Niagara Falls, sometimes cheaper than many of the quick garish thrills on nearby Clifton Hill. Take your camera with its telezoom lense, and have a blast!
