I would appreciate very much if you could help me id this palm. It's in a private bird park in Cape Town and the owner can't remember what he planted years ago.

Many thanks!

Okay, I'm still a complete novice at this, but I'm going to guess Dypsis crinita. And now I'll stand back and wait for someone to correct me :)

Too much rain in the Wet season and not enough in the Dry. At least we never get frost.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Any idea what kind of Parajubaea it might be? It might look a little sad but it's quite grown in and lots of big birds seem to rest on the trees. Some palms look really ratty after big Ibises use them as a lookout point. Otherwise most of the palms look stunning. Probably because of the very wind-protected location and the permanent fertilizing. Look at the white spots all over. Around the Parajubaea there is a huge flock of Flamingos at home.
