Macaw mountain bird park
Macaw Mountain Bird Park is a sanctuary in Copán Ruinas, Honduras, dedicated to caring for injured and confiscated macaws and other bird species. The facility features spacious aviaries where these birds live and can be observed by visitors.
The park was established to protect and rehabilitate injured macaws and birds seized from illegal trade. Its creation reflects growing concern for these species and the need for dedicated conservation spaces.
The park serves as a refuge for injured and confiscated macaws from the region, where visitors encounter them up close in their aviaries. People here experience how conservation efforts protect these birds, which are deeply connected to local nature and wildlife awareness.
The park is open during daylight hours and offers guided tours to learn about the birds and their backgrounds. Visit early in the morning when the birds are most active and interactive.
Many of the birds here cannot return to the wild because captivity has made them too accustomed to human care. Yet they serve as ambassadors for their species, helping visitors understand conservation needs.

Honduras holds a range of natural sites and archaeological locations along its Caribbean coastline and mountainous interior. The Copán ruins stand among the most important remnants of the Mayan civilization, displaying intricate stonework and the Hieroglyphic Stairway. Several islands in the Bay Islands, including Roatán, Utila, and Guanaja, offer sandy shores and access to coral reefs. National parks such as Pico Bonito, La Tigra, and Celaque protect rainforests and mountain ecosystems with trails through dense vegetation. Lake Yojoa sits between forested hills and serves as a habitat for migratory birds. The capital city of Tegucigalpa contains the 18th-century cathedral, along with the Museum for National Identity and the Garífuna Cultural Center, which provide insight into the country's history and culture. The Christ of Picacho statue overlooks the city from a hilltop. Along the northern coast, the Lancetilla Botanical Garden in Tela holds collections of tropical plants. Protected areas like the Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve and the Moskitia region in the east preserve remote rainforests and wetlands. Cayos Cochinos consists of small islands with clear waters off the coast near La Ceiba.
