Here
is the Beer cafe, but we just saw the birds and turtles and took a
picture. |
 |
Another
picture of this area. |

Another
picture of this area. |
 |
A
Morning Dove enjoying the shade. |
 |
Another
bird enjoying the shade. He was walking around the shade of this bush,
which was funny to see. |
 |
Here
is a picture of the Aviary. There are some birds on the limb, as well on
the ground. Try and see if you can see them! |
 |
Here
are some cranes resting in a pool. They seem agile and
graceful. |
 |
Here
is Busch Gardens flock of Pink Flamingos. They had at least 50 or 60,
and they were located in this area. Some were asleep, and it was
astounding how they did so. |
 |
Here
are some more flamingo pictures, if you see little gray birds, those are
the babies. |
 |
Another
shot of them. |
 |
Some
Morning Doves were hanging around here as well. |
 |
Boy
was it hot. I was just miserable, as the picture suggests. Lynn, who
seems to love being warm, didn't mind so much. At least we were in the
shade! |
 |
I
was trying to get a picture of Lynn and her mom, but they wouldn't stop,
so I took this instead. |
 |
Here
is a lizard hiding in the shade, I forgot the name. Looks like we had
the same idea! |
 |
Here
is a little area with a lot of turtles hanging around. There were birds
here too, kind of interesting. |
 |
Here
is the female of that bird species, probably protecting the eggs or
resting. |
 |
The
male was playing in the water, maybe trying to get something to
eat. |
 |
One
of the dragons there, just chilling out. Hot day! |
 |
In
the aviary, they had some cages there, here are 2 Macaws, they were
itching each others head, you can see the one on the right still fluffed
up from that. |
 |
Such
a pretty Macaw, yes you are! I was talking sweet to him or her. |
 |
Here
is a Lorrie, he was sittign on top of the door structure to get in the
aviary. |
 |
Here
is the open air aviary, dedicated to the Lorries. Here is a group of
them, you can see a pair having one of them check the others feathers.
It was neat to see them in the open flying around. |
 |
They
were letting people give the birds water and food in the aviary. This
girl was pretty freaked out about it however. |
 |
Here
are some more crane like birdies, they did not have a sign to them. But
they looked really neat. |
 |
More
pictures of those. |
 |
Here
is another picture from the Lorries aviary. Here is Toucan, who had a
hard time eating. He had to grab the morsel, throw it in the air, grab
it in the middle of his beak, and then tilt his head back continuously,
but he eventually got it down his throat. |
 |
Another
shot of this Toucan. |
 |
Another
picture of a Toucan. |
 |
Here
are some Parrots, I am not too sure what they were, but Lynn's mom said
they were pretty similar to their Amazon Parrot. |
 |
Here
is a Cockatoo, chewing on leaves, I think. |
 |
Must
get those leaves...... leaves.... yummy. |
 |
Here
is a little stream they had in the aviary. A lot of birds were enjoying
it, as you can tell. |
 |
Nice
water, ey? |
 |
Here
is a hot elephant. He was standing under the structure to avoid the sun.
By the time we were here, I was about ready to pass out as well. He was
also putting sand on himself, to cool him down. I actually thought
it was a good idea!
|
 |
Here
is another shot of the elephant. |
 |
Here
is another elephant in the distance. The elephants were in a big area on
the east end of the park. |
 |
ere
is another elephant in the distance. The elephants were in a big area on
the |
 |
You
can see this tarp thing stretched here, most of the elephants moved to
this area. The sun was beating down this day. |
 |
You
can see the sand they put on themselves here. |
 |
