Bird Walk

[Bea]

Yesterday Sherrie (Bobbys Girl) and me went to this big walk in aviary called Bird Walk. It was waaaay better than either of us expected as heaps of the birds were tame and loved hanging out with us!

Another cute little finch, these guys were hard to get photos of. They're sooo fast and don't stay in one spot for long!

And a couple more of my friend the sun conure:

Beautiful birds! :D I wish I was there! :rolleyes:

That sun conure sure is brilliant in color, and those lorikeets have such beautiful colorings! And those little finches are adorable :D

Thanks for sharing those pictures with us, I wish I can have them all! :rolleyes:

[C&C]

They are so beautiful! My zoo has the same thing. You hold a cup of nectar and the birds fly onto you to eat it. It's fun, except when they poop on you! ;)

[A-n-M]

Those are beautiful birds. :D
I love the little gouldian finch.
All of them were so colorful

[BirdieBabi]

I love the picture with the little Ringnecked (?) holding his feather! How cute is that!

You had to watch your step cause you ALWAYS had something chasing your feet looking for something to play with

[redgirl]

Awww Bea those pics are adorable, so glad you had a lovely time xxx :D

[Bea]

It's fun, except when they poop on you! ;)

The amazing thing was neither of us got pooped on. The sun conure even jumped off me and pooed before jumping back on!

[Kalahari]

well trained birds!

We need one of those around here :P :)

[Ruta<3]

Im so jelouse! I wish I was there.

[JuliesGonnaDance]

That sounds amazing! You guys are lucky to have gone. You made some beautiful friends there Bea. :)

[Amy]

The weather looks so nice, and both of you look lovely! You look as if you really enjoyed yourselves.

What amazing birds! Thank you for posting so many pictures, they made me feel as if I was really there! :D

[bs007]

Great pictures! I would LOVE to go to that place! I'm planning a trip to Australia for my 40th (ouch!) in 2 1/2 years. I'll have to put that on my list of things to do!:clap:

[Amy]

You are so lucky! Australia is my life long amibition! I'll definitely go here. :)

[Star]

OMG i'm SOOO jealous! How fun is that! Was there a big cage around the area?

I'm so envious! I want to go there so bad! BEAUTIFUL pics of some pretty birds, what cool animals to hang out with all day.

[pal0m1n0]

I wish I could go there too. It looks like fun.

[keet_tweet4]

I'm jelous now!! :D :D love the indian ringneck with his feather. On Guard! :cool: :D

[seohsnaeb]

aw wow!! that looks amazing!! i love the rainbow lorrikeets + sun conures + the crazy little dude playing with the feather!! i'll definately have to look that up if i ever make it to australia on my travels!!!

[BUUZBEE]

Great photos!!! you 2 look like you had a great time!

[Babyluv12]

Wow! I love it! Wish I had one down here....

[Bea]

OMG i'm SOOO jealous! How fun is that! Was there a big cage around the area?


Yeah, it was this super strength netting stuff. The aviary was MASSIVE!

[lethalfire]

What beautiful birds. That looks like it would be soo much fun. I have to be truthful though it would be hard for me to not freak out if a couple of those birds landed on me, some of them almost looked possessed.

I doubt I will ever make it to Australia though so I will have to admire from a distance.

Thanks for sharing that with us.
