The increase will come not just from tourism but through sales of bird accessories such as cages and food, as well as from increased bird production. The bird farm is one of five different farms which have been selected by the STB as new tourist attractions. The other farms are for goats, fish, orchids and vegetables grown by a soil-less method known as aeroponics. Between 200 and 500 visitors a week visit the farms but STB expects the number to increase by about 30 percent after the new initiative.
Visits are free.
