$7 adult admission ($3 per child) and another 50 cents for a cup of fresh fruit, veggies, and greens pays for an entertaining and educational experience. Pickles, the military macaw, will eat everything you put within his reach. Cookie, the yellow-naped Amazon, will respond to her name and possibly repeat, "Hi, Cookie." The princess crane, who is not a picky eater, will eat all the leftovers and will get the run of the place after hours. Red, the green wing macaw, will patiently pose for photos. Celebrity cockatoo Fred, one of three who starred on Baretta, just might make an appearance. Those are just five of the thirty exotic birds currently living at Free Flight. The volunteers are enthusiastic, helpful, and knowledgeable. It seemed like there was one for each family group. There are no labels on the cages because the birds are moved around so that they experience new environments, but the volunteers will introduce you to all the inhabitants of Free Flight. Birds who are stressed and pluck their feathers can be helped with a protective vest if they can tolerate the weight and keep their balance while wearing it. lots of photo ops
