About this blog

Welcome to our long awaited dream trip! As bird lovers, we have been planning for a long time to see wild parrots in their native habitats. We will be staying at some of the world's greatest Eco-Lodges and learning as much as we can from the top researchers in South America. We are hoping to gain more insights into the thoughts and feelings of our own pet parrots and do our bit to support eco-tourism and the freedom of parrots to live in their natural habitats. I am the owner of www.featheredandfree.com

In addition to bird watching, we also enjoy hula dancing from the South Pacific and will be visiting Heiva i Tahiti for some of the top dance competitions in the world!

We hope you enjoy the photos, videos and blog entries!
