Orlando Robinson, curator with the Hope Zoo Preservation Foundation, talks with Carlene Edwards (right), sponsorship and public relations manager at Supreme Ventures Ltd (SVL), about the Macaw parrots donated by SVL to the Hope Zoo last Tuesday. The birds, affectionately called Mikey and Herman, were previously housed at the SVL-owned Coral Cliff Gaming Lounge facility in Montego Bay. SVL took the decision to donate the rare birds — each of them 15 years old — due to the extensive renovation and refurbishing ongoing at Coral Cliff.
