Years ago, conservationist and zoologist Ralph Heath, Junior set up a non-profit organization designed to rescue, repair and rehabilitate wild birds suffering from the injuries of contemporary civilization. Pelicans with hooks in their beaks, gulls with broken wings and all the casualties of the injured bird world recover here, making this a squawking stop where birds eat from the hands of their keepers. This sanctuary will tug at your heartstrings, and if the tug's hard enough, you can adopt your own bird with a donation. Open daily 9am onwards.
