Wake each morning to the magical laughter from a gang of Australian Kookaburras and the drum like sounding calls of African crowned Cranes. The greeting of dawn is completed by the roar of Howler monkeys staking their territory high above the tropical trees. These are the sounds of an undisturbed jungle forest habitat and working exotic bird farm “Ave Azul de la Osa”.
