The first weekend after the opening of the new enclosure Imarsão das Aves at the Dreams Eco Park in Foz do Iguaçu received more than 500 visits from Brazilians and residents of neighboring countries.
Macarena Altamirano came with her family from Rosario, Argentina to visit Foz do Iguaçu. Among the tours chosen by the family, the new circle is one of the favorites.
“The kids loved it. This is the first time he has had such close contact with birds. It is definitely an experience that will last a lifetime,” said Macarena with her husband Brian and children Zoe and Alejo.
Carioca Sergio Zap returns to Foz after more than 40 years. “I am impressed by how this city has developed and offers travel options for the whole family,” he said. And, according to Zap, he had never visited a place like Dreams Eco Park. “The flight of birds of prey and the close contact with the birds was incredible”, he said. And it’s done. “I’m going back with my grandchildren. Kids need to know about this place.”
Business woman Beatriz Oliveira came from Curitiba with her children and husband. She said that one of the “bird excrement” birds remained on her husband’s back the entire time. “We’ve heard here that many animals recognize humans as members of the family, I think they thought my husband was their father”, he remarked.
According to Echo Park veterinarian Stacy Wu, most of the animals in the enclosure suffered “impressions”. That is, these birds, undeservedly, were tamed by humans and, therefore, recognize their protector in them. “Birds that are part of bird immersions are victims of abuse or trafficking in the wild and are unable to return to nature,” he explained.
