Wonderful Looks,
Glad I piqued your interest in the park :) They do wonderful work, all of the birds (and most of the other animals) they have in captivity are injured to a point where they couldn't survive out on their own, and many of the animals who come into the park for rehabilitation, the visitors will never see, because they are so careful to be sure that animals to be re-released are kept away from human contact as much as possible.
Nice close-ups
I'm loving your pictures from this park so I looked it up. They do good work with injured or formerly captive animals. http://wildlifepark.gov.ns.ca/
