 We found
the zoo without a hitch, paid our entry, walking toward the aviary we saw
this girl getting a drink.
  There were various cages with a good
selection of birds, including a pair of Condor, but I'll blog them from Peru in
September. Duck "Am I gorgeous"
"No, but I am" said the Buitre Rey
  The walk in aviary soon gave us a laugh
with this chap wandering along with his new friend.
The little girl just loved the parrots.
  "Every feather has got
to be preened" " I just have a good shake"
  A lovely face
watching his friend happily building a nest above the light
fitting
 Finally, I got the picture I wanted - a chap in flight
We left the aviary to
wander on, we had an ice-cream each and chatted to the American stall
holder who wanted to talk about boxing, moving on Bear called Quick, Quick
 I certainly didn't
expect this - but it may become my screen saver.
 A better angle on his dignity. Soundo in the mid-day heat.
  This stunning Bengal tiger
watching over his sleeping wife
  Another sleeping
beauty, but these camels were happy to eat the
carrots the public paid a dollar for
  Bear did really well with his tortoise whispering and it worked on the zebra too
  We were amazed at the root system on this tree. Bear did a bit of iguana whispering
  A very pretty young
giraffe. The guard armed and ready
 "Can we talk".
The rhino was quite happy with the visiting iguanas and pigeons
    After surveying her world from
the back of the hippo, it was time for a good bath, coming up complete with a new sombrero
  We had another wander round the aviary,
then entered the creepy crawlies - horribly loud with
sound effects and kids squealing and shouting - quick exit
  A photo of a butterfly and one of Bear
trying to picture a butterfly and what do we see................
 A Thread-Bare Bear.
I almost look like a monk. "It wont be long until a full tonsure, my love". MMmmm
