The house has live birds and reptiles that are or have been rehabilitated. Outside there are also enclosures for injured birds and animals.
A couple of talking Parrots
American Bald Eagle with a busted wing
Back of house
There was also a Butterfly enclosure and Butterfly Garden. But that was closed for the season.
Away from the house was a barn with penned goats and chickens.
Then a short walk through the woods.
