ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands -- An aviary has opened at Coral World Ocean Park in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The new attraction is called Lorikeet Garden. It's a 1,600-square-foot walkthrough aviary with 20 birds, including 17 brilliantly colored lorikeet parrots. Guests may buy a cup of nectar to feed the birds, which are known for being people-friendly.
Coral World also has trails, aquariums, diving and snorkeling, a "shark encounter" program that allows visitors to pet a baby shark and enter a shark tank, and a "Sea Trek" in which you walk underwater on a trail, wearing a helmet that supplies air.
