Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

> The Volcano Drill Search, part IV., is delayed, unfortunately, because of another idea that will be presented to you now. So, part IV. coming soon :D

Christmas present from the A.R.C. staff to me!
So, with the Christmas spirit growing in every human being on the planet, as seeing stores, newspapers, sites and buildings getting decorated, I just want Christmas to be closer already. So, anyhow, on one of the Staff Meetings (after the well ahead Veterinary Meeting [VM]) we started to discuss Christmas presents from staff members and what would we love to get.

As no one wanted to tell, of course, the team shooed me away to agree on the present for me! :IWANTCANDY:

When I came back in, they all looked at me and said: "Surprise!"
I, personally, expected a puppy for the A.R.C., hahaha, a little Doberman pup to take care of :P
But, instead, they gave me an even better surprise:
"The team, alongside with me," Hastings started "has decided to buy you a Hyacinth Macaw for Christmas." I just stared, at them, and I haven't shown the tiniest bit of how actually happy and surprised I am "We know a top notch breeder, and since he always closes up on the 1st of December, we want to get you an early present! How about that?"

The whole team looked at me and I just said: "Yes! I would really love to get a Hyacinth Macaw, thank you so much!" I said and hugged everyone on the meeting :HUGGLES:

The next morning, we already arrived to the place.

Posted Image

It's really strangely decorated, take a look at this what we saw from the chopper:

Posted Image

So, as we entered we were greeted by a big field of flowers of some sort...

Posted Image

As we walked pass the flower bushes, we got to a waiting room, in which you can sit and relax, until a tour guide picks you up. Yes, you can't just enter.
(excuse the sunset picture, it's supposed to be morning xD )

Posted Image

Posted Image

Inside, while we were waiting, we took a look at 4 "showcase" mew's/miniature aviaries, that each had at least one Macaw in it.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Later on, when the owner recognized us we got a view at the back part of the exhibits too, for the zookeeper. The animals even have an outdoor area, a small one, but they do, and it's all roofed up with glass.

Posted Image

The tour guide (without the owner) took us to see their proudest work. They have several (around 10) Hyacinth Macaws in a gorgeous, big aviary and visitors can take a look at them from many different views, but the ones in this aviary are not for sale, unfortunately.

Posted Image

Guest views...

Posted Image

Posted Image

Also, the owner built an interesting elevated path...

Posted Image

Posted Image

... that gives an excellent view over the aviary!

Posted Image

Something around it...

Posted Image

And THESE are all the Macaws that are up for purchase :)
There are 10 small aviaries/mews that can hold up to 4 Hyacinth Macaws at once.

Posted Image

There is a really nice information person there, that tells you some rules as: "Feeding forbidden, don't hurt the animals, don't try to break or cut the fence, don't enter the back area..." (yade, yade, yada...) ...

Posted Image

... and then you can go and check out the Macaws on your own, or with people of your choice. All the birds there were magnificent, and I was like: "
"Nyaaah, I want all of them!" :IWANTCANDY:

There was this little guy that was a bit more aggressive...

Posted Image

... but there were also some lonely females you just wish to buy to give them company :(

Posted Image

But, as the rule of all purchases is that you HAVE TO spend some time alone with the animal in a specialized play/socialization area...

Posted Image

Posted Image

... I couldn't purchase one the exact day.
I have to come back tomorrow for the fun of having my own Hyacinth Macaw! :D
I want a little female ^^

Anyhow, I also wanted to show you the forest this thing is in!

Posted Image

When we were leaving, I already had my eyes (but not heart) set on one little female. As we greeted the owner, he gave us some pamphlets to check out, and to send the word around about their facility :D

As we flew away I took an overall shot of this facility:

Posted Image

> A word from me...
I can release this map if you like it ^^
Enjoy!

This is awesome!
I like the way you build the aviary and the smalla aviaries are very decorative.
