About This Item

Polly the Parrot

Ideally Polly will travel to some places i will never see and maybe even see some birds I have never seen in my life. 

14.12.12 - Polly is certainly getting to see some amazing birds.  Just recently she has seen : Tui, Silvereye, Eastern Rossela, NZ Kingfisher, Spur Winged Plover, Grey Warbler, Fantail, Australasian Harrier.........Wow!  

20.12.12 - Keep an eye on this space.  Will in the near future post a full list of all the birds to date that Polly has seen.

04.06.13 -I was on the Ilse of Mull today watching Puffins on Lunga and getting good views of Sea Eagles in to the bargain, Fantastic experience! It would be great if someone could move Polly to a location renowned for some rare or exceptional bird , just so Polly can when she eventually returns to the UK have some amazing tales to tell.

Polly is back in the UK. I am not going to where I suspect Polly lives, but at least it's the same country. I hope Polly gets home. (Or come fetch it 😁.) It's near the entrance to Ickworth NT House. Worth visiting. Great food. Good bye and good luck Polly continuing your journey home to LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND.
