Attractions at Parrot Farm

At the farm, you can find the following attractions:

• An area where you can hold, feed, and pet parrots. Also, in this area, you can see eggs and baby parrots.
• Small playground for toddlers.
• Preparing pita bread in a taboon.
• Children’s creative corner (clay art).
• Animal petting corner with bunnies, guinea pigs, and turtles.
• An area where you can see different animals, primarily various types of chicken and doves.
• The farm animals zone is where you can feed them.
• An area with an array of cages with different types of parrots.

The Parrots

When entering the parrot farm, you will see a room with free parrots to your left. For many people, this is the main attraction. Beyond parrots that you can hold and feed with nuts, there are tiny chicks.

This Ara parrot wanted to sit on somebody. So I gave him my hand, and he climbed onto my shoulder. The problem was that I wanted to move on after about ten minutes, but the parrot liked his new location and did not want to get off. After several minutes, we were able to return him to the stand. And when I came closer to photograph him, he raised one leg, signaling that he preferred being on my shoulder. That’s why in this photo, he is standing on one leg.

Another excellent idea I have not seen is a row of cages with birdhouses where the back wall is transparent. You can see one house, several eggs, and one baby parrot.

You can also buy parrots there. All these parrots were for sale. But before buying a parrot, I recommend reading the Parrot Story we were told during our visit to Safari Ramat Gan.

This cockatoo was less friendly. He looked sleepy and did not want to climb onto anybody.

Note: In 2025, I saw many parrot farm ads on social media. When we arrived twenty minutes after the opening, there were already many people. I am unsure if the number of visitors is the reason, but most big parrots in this area were not friendly. They bit and did not want to climb anybody.

Farm Animals

You can also feed different farm animals. Plenty of lettuce sits in boxes outside the gate, so we fed goats, sheep, and other farm animals.

Note: If there is no lettuce by the entrance to this area, you can try again later. Occasionally, one of the workers brought a box full of lettuce.

The variety of parrots is quite broad. In addition to the first room with free parrots, there is a big area with cages at the end.

And lastly, here are several additional photos:

Note: There are benches by the entrance, and many people bring food and have picnics there. There is also a small kiosk with drinks and sweets.

Summary

Our last visit lasted about three and a half hours (however, the average duration of our previous visits is about two and a half hours). There are downsides to this attraction, and the main one is that they sell too many tickets on Saturdays and holidays. But in general, young children enjoy this attraction. Let them pet a parrot, feed some farm animals, and participate in an art corner, and they are happy. My daughters enjoyed the visits.

Parrot Farm is suitable for younger children but probably will be boring for teenagers (unless they love parrots).
