Cheeky parrots, lovesick geese, lizards, turtles, monkeys, wallabies with babies on board, and a Macaw that yells out "I love you, I love you." Parrot Ranch co-owner Jody Burgess loves watching people's reactions to his unique wildlife attraction. "A carload turns up - mum, dad, and a couple of kids," says Jody. "One of them typically isn't at all interested and has only come along under duress. By the time they're halfway round they're enjoying it the most, and that's when you get a really good feeling."
