WHITSUN RAINBOW WEEK at Paradise Park, Cornwall 25th May to 2nd June

DINO the Serianma

Green-naped Lorikeet

Paradise Park is highlighting colour during its ‘Rainbow Week’ this Whitsun. The colourful parrot family will be to the fore of course, as the Park is home to the World Parrot Trust charity. The way birds and people use colour will feature in the Rainbow Quiz which will run between Saturday 25th May to Sunday 2nd June.
As you explore the Park to see the birds and animals, look out for the quiz sheet clues. Once complete, you can check your answers and claim your sweet treat in the JungleBarn or gift shop.

And check out the ‘Flight of the Rainbows’ experience which happens at 2pm everyday (weather permitting) in the walk-through ‘Australian Aviaries’ in the walled garden. You can buy some food for the little parrots who love nothing more than sitting on your arm, or your head, and squabbling with each other while drinking their nectar – a sweet drink of honey, baby food, chilli powder and vitamins. It’s a fascinating and fun close encounter for young and old alike.

You can also help support this species by buying a rainbow ribbon (minimum donation 50p) to tie onto the rainbow tree in our JungleBarn reception, and help raise funds for the important work of the Lory Conservation Network (www.savelories.org ). The network links zoos, bird parks, and lory exhibits around the world with conservation projects designed to protect lories and lorikeets. In many areas wild lory populations are under threat and need help to survive.

Face painting and special rainbow cakes will also be available during Rainbow Week.

Over 650 birds and animals to see.
