Our Favorite Birds

We spent another day at the Bird Zoo this week. But this time we were more selective where we spent our time. The girls definatly have a favorite. The peacocks, hands down. They were so friendly this time, we were able to feed them and they would come take it right out of our hand. Princess E really wanted to pet their, "fan" but they must have nerve endings because whenever she would barely touch it they would run away fast.

We also learned that when they crow it sounds awfully simmilar to a hurt cat meowing loudly. Princess M kept wanting to go find that kitty that was hurt.

I really like the flamingo's. They just look so pretty, and they make me think of the movies.
This guy has to be my favorite in the whole place. He is a condor. The first time we came, he was showing off his brute neck strength, by moving a tree limb with his neck. Then he would run around his cage trying to impress us with his speed.

This time he was just sitting on his perch, facing the sun, donning the yoga pose. It was so funny. He has his legs up in his chest and his wings open wide. Then his face is up and just basking in the warmth of the sun. I loved it!!
