Our visit to the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary was a unique, engaging experience. Despite its small size and the relatively high price, the diversity of animals and the chance to interact with them made it a memorable outing.
Pros: The admission fee contributes significantly to the conservation and upkeep of the wildlife, making it a worthwhile cost. The sanctuary was well-kept and the animals appeared content, showing their commitment to animal welfare. Staff members were friendly, happily allowing us to feed and pet the birds and guinea pigs. A surprising diversity of animals, including parrots, cockatoos, guinea pigs, and reptiles. Feeding the cockatoos from your hand in their cage is a must-do. They are adorable!
Cons: The sanctuary is relatively small and the admission fee might feel high for the size, but the interactive experience and conservation aspect justifies the cost.
In conclusion, the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary is a must-visit if you are on the island. You'll enjoy an unforgettable interaction with a variety of animals while supporting...

They helped us hold guinea pigs, my sister's favorite was Vanilla, while my daughter had fun snuggling little Bear. Then we had cockatiels fly to our hands for seeds. I loved seeing the Cayman parrots; two who had been released back unto the wild stopped by to chat with old friends! The Cayman Agouti was interesting as well, kind of a cross between a rabbit/guinea pig/rat, similar to a capybara but smaller. Also they let people handle several snakes (not me, thank you very much). And they have a zipline for smaller kids under 75 lbs and small playground. Free lemonade & iced...
