The lobby at La Posta has always been home to many different tropical birds. From Macaws, Mexican Red Heads, Yellow Nape Amazon, and an African Gray to Cockatiels, La Posta's aviary has provided viewing entertainment and fun for children of all ages.

Simon, our African Grey is always whistling and getting "fresh" with the ladies while Froto, our Yellow Nape Amazon bellows "Hello" in different octaves", sings "Polly wants a cracker" and proudly yelps "Pretty Bird". Our most recent addition is Sugar, a beautiful full grown Cockatoo, who prances around the aviary always in demand of attention. Below is a short synopsis regarding the various tropical birds you will find at La Posta:
