What a cute pelican! Silly face.
That looks like a Blue throat macaw to me, not a B&G.
Looks like a fun outing!

the Black Palm Cockatoo was huge interest for me. i had just watched Nature (PBS) program on them. i want to greet him /her with their own call. a High pitched Hellllo. it was very interested in me. there was zoo keeper near by and she told me that he/she had lost it's mate within the last year. and that was the first time the bird seemed interested in anything other then bugging those chickens. after it flew back to it's perch it watched me the whole time i was near it's cage. and the whole time we were in the area. i think i made a friend. :bp2

it is blue throated macaw by the way. i went to their web site: Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo | Voted #1 By Parents Magazine#
