A couple of shots from my trip today. I took my parents to see the birds.

And then there was this cheeky gang... rps20170226_180204_814.jpg

My elderly father thought it quite funny that people paid to see green cheeks. He now wants me to charge $10 and open my home - LOL!

Must have been a fun day. I cannot make out the blue bird. What species?

Pretty sure it is a Victoria Crowned Pigeon but my parents are older and not very patient when it comes to sign reading :bored:

They both have progressing dementia and it is getting hard to think of things to do with them to get them out but they really enjoyed the day. My dad even fed the Lorikeets.

You are right Lori. That is a Victoria crowned pigeon. Pied imperial pigeons are beautiful birds as well.

Oh thank you! I didn't know their name. They were gorgeous and so docile. They look so soft and it took everything in me not to reach out and touch them.

Those are really nice photos, and it sounds like it was wonderful day with your parents! I'm glad they enjoyed it, and your dad sounds like he has a great sense of humor.
