Having said this, it must be noted that there are some owls here that cannot live in the wild and therefore, this place has now become their home. So, once you are done taking in the sight of these adorable birds, don’t forget to order appetising dishes including acai bowls, which will pair perfectly with milkshakes and coffee.
