Tenerife Island (Canary Islands-Spain) shelters at the edge of its northern coast a superb park where hundreds of parrots from around the world live. Since its creation and opening to the public in 1972, Loro Parque has improved a little more each year: increase of the area, arrival of other animals (terrestrial mammals, reptiles, dolphins, sea lions, killer whales ...), creation of an ice-field with observation of King Penguins, Gentoo Penguins, Chinstrap Penguins, and Rockhopper Penguins, installation of the habitats for the big cats, gorillas and, of course, the presence of birds within tropical gardens where many exotic plants grow.
Bright-coloured parrots are installed in large aviaries along the track which snakes among all kinds of palm trees. Very attentive caretakers are working around and within the cages. Care is very important and plays an essential part in the conservation of the species present in the park.
