My wonderful mum treated me and the OH to a day out at a Wildlife Park yesterday as a belated birthday present!
Reason we didn't go before (when it was my birthday) is all the birds were quarantined off due to the H5N1 bird virus so it wouldn't have been worth going. But as the ban has been lifted in their area and that it was warmer weather we were finally able to go!
Have some pictures to share - I wish I could have shared the Rainbow Lorikeets but they were all nesting so were to high up to photograph but here are some others from the day:
I took this one in particular because if you see the bird behind - I have never seen a flamingo asleep and wondered how they put their foot up!!! Very camp
Peacock wanting to look at the camera:
Reptile house!
My personal favourite - The Bearded Dragon
And the Albino Burmese python
His eye was like glass!
A very friendly Victoria Crowned Pigeon female who came over to me for some peace and quite from her mate who kept chasing her
And last but not least two Toos
I think you would agree a very fine day out for a birthday pressie
