What it's all about

 --Sharing the Birds with Everyone at the Zoo

Scarlett, a Scarlett Ibis

Paige, a four month  Chilean Flamingo

Because of the bright red color Scarlett is a big attraction.  Bob has her trained to come to him and we can let the kids give her a drink out of a cup.

Paige comes out of her carrier and looks around for Bob.

Riding in the carrier on the golf cart makes a Bird thirsty.

OK, there is my buddy.

This is a busy day with lots of families and many happy children getting to interact with the little Flamingo.

Rita helps monitor the feeding and helps keep the birds safe.







These pictures show what it is all about, smiling faces while learning.

Don and Rita talk about the eggs on display and answer many questions

Giving Scarlett a drink you might get wet.

I too would be leery of a bird that was tall enough to look me in the eye .."Don't push me too close Mom". 

Another happy customer

Many of the parents are excited to touch a Flamingo also.. Have you ever had the opportunity to do that?

Lots of questions from this family while the little girl kept saying over and over " I think she likes me".

She sat on the ground touching and hugging Paige for a long time.

End of Day

BIG SMILES- us

Job well done
