July the 28th - Our 6th Leg
Today I decided to take my son to the
Montecasino Bird Gardens. It is the only bird garden of its kind in Africa with
its walk-through Aviary with its 60 species of birds, including Scarlet Ibises,
Nicobar Pigeons, reptiles and small mammals, with smaller antelope wandering
freely on the undergrowth.
We first started at the “Flight of fantasy show”
then started our walk through the Gardens itself. Wonderful.
The bird garden also has the largest and most
diverse private collection of South African Cycads in the World, with over 750
plants including one of the oldest surviving, estimated to be over 2500 years
old.
The Montecasino complex was inspired by the 15th Century Palazzo Corsini the lies on the slopes between the Gianicolo and Tiber River in Italy.
