The Paradise park Which lies in St. Ives Cornwall was founded in 1973 by mike Reynolds who wanted a place to house all of the birds he had collected, for the first few years of the parks opening it was only home to a few different type of birds mainly being parrots, it was during this time that the World Parrot trust which now actively operates from the park was founded. The World Parrot trust which is a charitable organisation with the main aim being the welfare of parrots but also works closely with other charities which are involved in birds. Paradise Park is now a hub for many different species of birds as well as other types of animals altogether such as owls, birds of prey, penguins, otters, patters and lots of other farm animals. The park offers a set daily event time table which is orientated around feeding times so that visitors if they choose can watch every animal being fed. The park has a gift shop which sells the general items you would expect but they are mainly wildlife themed. Prices to enter the park start at £5 for seniors £5.25 for children and disabled and £6.50 for adults though you can get discounts if you advance book, school trips are extremely popular and have to be booked a full 6 months in advance to make secure they can secure you a date. The Paradise park is a great day out and is very cheap for what is offered it is well worth a visit if your visiting St. Ives.
