    We have been visiting Parrot Farm in Kfar Hess many times. Unfortunately, the place is getting neglected more with a time. Many visitors wrote about unpaved dusty road and ancient smelly buildings. However, the worst thing there is how they treat parrots. The birds just cannot stand with such amount of people, who wants constantly touch them, hold them against bird's will and even punch them, when supervisor is not around. After a "shift", tired birds are returned to very small cages full of dirt, without clean water and a single toy to entertain. Many birds have their flying feathers trimmed in very bad form. Just a suffering for parrots in many ways. I have visited many parrot farms in different countries, and, unfortunately, this one is not the best.

    Amazing experience with parrots. The place located inside Hess village,not so complicated to find it (with Waze). Entry fee is 35₪ ,various of parrots for sale ,you can play with some of them,hold them ,feed them and pet them. They have an area for parrots that not for sale,area for farm animals (ducks,rabbits and more),open area with farm animals that you can feed (goats and ducks),area for playing with parrots for sale and area for playground for kids. Most of the areas are covered from sunlight which is great. Most of the staff are kids from the village that take care of the parrots and the animals. The open hours were comfortable and the parking area was near (2 mins walking) (have space to around 40 cars or more). Very Recommended 😁

    This is a nice place to spend one or two hours with the kids, we got there early in the morning (at the opening at 10Am) so it was still not crouded with children, there are 3 main areas, in one area the kids can touch, feed and carry parrots (you can buy food for them at the entrance). In a second area they can pet small rabbits and turtles. In the third area they can touch and feed goats, ducks and even peacocks.

    Kfar Hess Parrot Farm is a lovely place and I highly recommend visiting! We intended to go last summer but didn't get around to it. Luckily, we were able to go today and boy was it worth it! Of all the animal parks around Israel, I'd say Kfar Hess Parrot Farm offers the most natural and enjoyable way to interact with the animals. You can hold and feed birds of all shapes, colors and sizes. There's a lovely, well maintained petting zoo area for the kids. They have guinea pigs, bunnies, chicks and turtles for the kids to hold and pet. There's a 'safari' area where you can feed peacocks, goats, ducks and roosters. Of course, while they're all running around you. The grounds are clean but keep in mind that there's a lot of sand, so be sure to wear closed shoes. All in all, the Kfar Hess Parrot Farm is an enjoyable experience for people of all ages! Enjoy!

    Wonderful place to visit with kids! You can touch and feed rabbits, parrots, goats, ducks etc. We spent 3 hours there - having a lot of fun! And after sometime we came back again. Enjoyed very much. Also they made some changes, now the corner where you can smooth pets are bigger. So definitely recommended to visit!

    We had a great time and the staff was great. We got to feed birds that flew onto our hands. There were many types of birds as well as goats, rabbits and guinea pigs to pet and feed.

    I would recommand that you stay away from this place and here is why: Insane price tag, for one adult its 40₪. This place has so little to offer. you have the parrots (i will talk about them sepretly) A rench filled with ducks and pecocks, And few rabbits and hamsters that you can pet. Now this is the main reson that you should not give them your money: The poor condition of these guys(parrots) is really really bad, now for those of you who want to buy a small parrot go for it, but not in this place, as when you buy the small once the big parrots suffer, as this is how this place stays afloat(Also the amount of money they want is really really high). They are there with verly little care for their diet(nuts and seed) The amount of space a galah gets there is the same space a cocktil gets, shame. Cages are full of rust, and the way the big parrots look is bad which means bad living conditions and health.

    (Translated by Google) I was expecting a little more cleanliness..at least in the play area..a terrible swing..throw an old mattress that God knows where it came from and the little ones slide off the slide on the inflated mattress..soul soul.ואל. In general, take quite a bit - invest a little that will be pleasant..this is the little you can ask for from the place. (Original) ציפיתי לקצת יותר ניקיון..לפחות בפינת המשחקים ..תינופת נוראית ..זרקו מזרון ישן שאלוהים יודע מאיפה בא והקטנים מתגלשים מהמגלשה על המזרון המתונף..גואל נפש.😫 . ובכלל לוקחים לא מעט קצת-תשקיעו קצת שיהיה נעים..זה המעט שאפשר לבקש מהמקום.

    (Translated by Google) I will start by saying that my childhood was very enjoyable, for me as an adult I have a few comments: Not recommended to arrive in summer, very hot there. The animals are in greenhouses so it's pretty hot. Defective conduct, too bad there is no basic explanation page or neat prospectus, it would have saved the tedious explanation of entry. The place is not accessible, it was difficult to walk around with a cart. Park in a sandy area and walk about 100 meters to the entrance. The instructors are not really instructors, they are scattered but not really engaging the children. In my opinion does not justify the high price. (Original) אתחיל שהילדות שלי נהנו מאוד, מבחינתי כאדם בוגר יש לי מספר הערות: לא מומלץ להגיע בקיץ, חם שם מאוד. החיות נמצאות במן חממות כך שדי חם. התנהלות לוקה, חבל שאין דף הסבר בסיסי או פרוספקט מסודר, זה היה חוסך את ההסבר המייגע בכניסה. המקום לא נגיש, היה קשה להסתובב בו עם עגלה. חונים בשטח חולי והולכים כ 100, מטר לכניסה. המדריכים לא ממש מדריכים, הם מפוזרים אבל לא ממש מפעילים את הילדים. בעיני לא מצדיק את המחיר הגבוה.

    I don't know if the place is lovely or not, but we came on a rainy day and all the roads to get there are dirt roads which were washed out. Can't pass without a pickup or Jeep. We called ahead before we came, it would have been nice for them to mention that.

    Just throw you money (more then 120₪ for 1 child, 2 adult and year old twins) to the garbage, the place is old not maintained and frankly there is not so much to do there it took us 25 minutes to go over the whole place and it was in very slow pace. Never going back and I not recommend you as well.

    A really great place to spend a good couple of hours at. When we arrived the field was overgrown so it was hard to see the small yellow signs for the farm. It really seems like you are in the wrong place but then you hear the birds! The staff is great and friendly. They love the birds and kids. There are bunnies, ferrets, guinea pigs, peacocks, chickens, pheasants, pigeons, ducks, and all kids of parrots for sale. They have a store where you can buy everything you'll need to care for them. The petting area was so cool to hold all sorts of birds. They have an incubator that you can see the birds in various stages of hatching. There's a small playground and you can create things in clay. There are three additional sections of animals. An enclosure section with various birds and hatching boxes. A petting zoo type area where you can feed goats, ducks and other birds. We were able to go in to feed the pigeons and collect eggs. It's a farm, it's going to be dirty. My kids had a blast and can't wait to go back.

    Cool to see parrots but none of the animals were kept in a good habitat and I felt uneasy walking around. The place is more for young children to see animals and violate the animals space then actually trying to keep the animals in a nice environment.

  • 2/5 Tanya Segal - B. 3 years ago on Google
    My kids loved spending time with the animals but living conditions of birds very poor. No toys for parrots, old dirty cages. No supervision at petting zoo to watch children who handle the animals roughly or carelessly. Shame it could be a fabulous place if they would care for their animals property.

    Wonderful. Good parents and kids up to about 12 years of age. There's a lot to do, including a short pony ride, petting zoo, oven pitta making and more. We easily spent two great hours with a 1 year old and would probably come back in the future.

    If you're looking for a place that abuses animals this is it. The animals don't see day light, and are very aggressive (probably due to aggressive behavior towards them). Some animals seem to be dead in the petting area. This is the worst petting zoo I've to in my life- it's that bad.

    Has an old feeling, like it was incredible 30 years ago but today a little dilapidated. However my 2 year old enjoyed for 2 hours. Plus, while it's a bit pricey (115₪ for me, my wife and our two year old) entrance fee includes a pony ride, pita making and arts. There is also a place area for the kids

    Wait, this is a Theme Park? I thought it was a huge parrot shop with all the supplies in the world! Guess it's Also a Petting Zoo..... Cool Now I haven't visited that place in 2 years so I do not think this reveiw is very helpful, The birds are healthy though.

  • 5/5 Natalie S. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a very nice and amusing place for kids, with cute parrots coming on your hand and head! It was great fun even for me. There are also doves, roosters, peacocks walking freely, goats, geese... They all take food from your hand, which gives you very high emotions. There are tables to sit to have a snack lunch. There is a small ice-cream and snack booth shop and a playground. Please mind the sand all around it, it can get in the kid's shoes. Interesting, that it's the first place I run across in my life, where a kid's ticket is more expensive that a ticket for a grown-up: 45 and 35 shekels accordingly.
