But when the blue macaw was about to fly, several exotic birds are smuggled out of the country. In Moose Lake, Minnesota, a crate with the male Spix’s Macaw hatchling falls out of a truck and is found by a young girl, named Linda Gunderson, who names him “Blu”.

Beyond the Bottle Oven Tour

Guests will hear and see the stories of the craftspeople who shaped our city, beginning at the Gladstone Pottery Museum, where they will experience a Victorian pottery factory, explore the industrial heritage of the Potteries, and learn about the social impact of those who made Stoke-on-Trent ceramics a global phenomenon. Then, a short walk across the road takes you to the original doors of the Duchess China 1888 Ltd factory for a tour of a working factory, where artisans produce fine bone china that is exported worldwide. By the end of this tour, guests will gain a renewed understanding of the contemporary pottery industry through an authentic experience. They will also discover the tenacity and passion of the city's people amidst the challenging climate of modern manufacturing.
