KL Bird Park

Thursday was a public holiday here, so we decided to visit the Bird Park in the morning. I have shown similar photos on my blog before from previous visits, but these are to show Aunty Ruth's grandkids where Granny has been :-)
.
Aaron was our "map reader"!
These birds watched us walk by.
Aaron desperately trying to get some "free" fish food out of the dispenser because we didn't have the right coins (Maddison even looked in the rubbish bin hehee).
They really didn't look like they needed food though!
Strolling along in the heat.
A visit to the nursery to hold some baby chicks and ducklings :-)
Samuel just wanted to grab!
Look at his grin! :-)
A Macaw.

We stopped at the Photo Booth and Mum and Aunty Ruth had their pics taken with several birds. These wise old owls just snoozed right though it all!
Samuel trying on Daddy's shades!
A penhen and her chicks
Scarlet Ibis
Waterfall.
Aaron getting up close and personal!
A little duck - he was very used to people obviously as he didn't move when I got up close to take a pic.
Flamingo's
At the end of our visit we watched the bird show (well some of us did and some of us watched the kids playing in the playground!) :-)

Macaw riding a bike across a tight rope.

Riding a scooter.
This Macaw was learning to ride a bike (he had a bit of a helping hand!!).
Travelling in a jeep.
And playing on on the slide.
We enjoyed it all, but were sure glad to get back in the car to the air conditioning I tell you! :-)

Thanks for visiting.

One for the birds ...

Yesterday we went to the KL Bird Park. Last time we went with my Mum we didn't get to see it all because it poured with rain when we were half way round. But yesterday the weather stayed fine so we got to see it all.
.
Just before we walked through the entrance gate we saw this little green snake - it was really really long.
We went straight to the bird show ... pics speak for themselves :-)





Peacocks (or peapops as Maddison calls them!) were everywhere and very happy to be strutting their stuff.
Kids were fascinated with the baby chicks in the nursery.
We stopped for a photo shoot with lots of birds. Will just show Aaron & Daddy though on here :-) Aaron was quite upset because he got a little red bird on his hat and he didn't want that he wanted a BIG bird on his arm!
Can't remember these birds names but they are part of the dove/pigeon family. Love their hair doo. heheheee

Beautiful colours on some of the birds.



Maddison having a grump session because we wouldn't let her put her hands in the water ... there were lots of fish there!
So just a quick post today ... we are off to some malls shortly. Should be an interesting experience the day before Christmas! LOL
