Jogging around the block
Our zoo isn't the biggest (it took us 2 1/2 hours to walk the whole thing, and at times I feel for the animals. Sometimes their areas seem a little rundown or too small, but the kids love going and seeing the animals. We have a membership and I'm hoping to use it for a discount at Henry Doorly this Saturday. That's my favorite zoo.
My 3 year old in the feed the budgie area. The website says that the stuff on the stick is nutritionally complete, but when I asked the guy in there what was on it he told me seeds, a little melon, and corn syrup. And to think I go to all this work feeding my budgies when that's all they need. That and a big bowl of millet.
Me feeding the budgies as my 16 month old looks around in awe at all the budgies. Just like at home, the birds liked to perch on his head.
Some of the budgies
I really love going to zoos, but seeing him behind bars made me sad.
Ostriches
I love giraffes. I took a lot of pictures of them, but this is the best one.
Sea Lion
the lions - I was behind glass, hence the blur of the male's head
Hello Mr Camel
Seahorses
American Bullfrog
Egyptian Fruit Bats (I think)
Cayman
um....big fish? from the Amazon? I don't know, but those fish freak me out every time I see them. They are huge.
The scarlet macaws, they made me sad too. The light was dim, and a couple of them looked like they were plucked a little. I wanted them to have room to spread their wings and fly.
The flamingos
Then my battery in my phone died. Just thought I'd share.
