YAY!
My partner took me to Melbourne Zoo on the weekend. My fave...
The great flight aviary!! Saw the most cutest male eclectus and his 3 females, 2 red/green wing macaws that were sleeping all day in another enclosure along with sun conures and monk parrots. Aaaand... Cousins of our IRNs, Plumheads!! OMG I want that aviary in my house! Sorry no pics. Didn't take a camera!! But here is something on the aviary.. its massive and you can walk right through it..

I was like a kid in a lolly shop! I havn't been to the zoo since I was little. It was amazing. Especially the AVIARY!!
The penguins must of been in breeding season because the males were beating up there females with their lil chicken flippers and dragging the poor girls into their nests.
Saw the lion breakfast time and gorillas too which were amazing. Of course giraffes and elephants or as my partner called them 'smellyphants'.
So that was my weekend. Thought I'd share.

I envy you! Im lucky to have MANY places to go here in Florida but no time to do it. grrr
We have sooo many zoos and lil 'off the rd' gift shops that have aviaries for unwated birds. I love photography and really wish I had the time to capture it all and bring it here.
One fine day! Shew, school started today! Amen! I love my 4 boys but lord have mercy... the summer was a long one. And caring for everyone with my back broken was getting to be TOO MUCH.
Im rambling... sorry... bit stir crazy. And a whole lot pure crazy.

Hanging out with yall is really helping me Kyria. My husband notice a difference in me yesterday and asked about it. I told him I had become active here again and it was nice to have contact with the outside world.
He didnt want me here, for obvious reasons but I assured him proper admin were in place and High-School ended.
I appreciate hanging out here, if I havent already said that. Its nice to communicate with the outside world. The board has a good vibe about it again so its nice... really nice.

Oh all the animals looked happy and well at the zoo. Some of the big cats looked a little lonely though and one of the elephants was in an enclosure all by itself staring at his friends in another bigger enclosure. It looked like it wanted to go play too! But its a 'good' zoo. Good day out! In a few weeks I'm planning on taking a trip to Healsville Sanctuary which has some nice bird shows. *Must take camera*

Wow aviarys like that must be awesome!
We don´t have that kind of zoo´s here in scandinavian, we have a coupple but not that big I think.
Love beeing in open aviarys were you can sit and watch the birds just flying around. My partner must always drag me from thouse places, I can stay forever there.

The wild lorries are nuts, they fly straight at you and then only just move as they are about to hit you. I had to walk through a park at north sydney to get to work and they would come full ball towards us and if you moved the wrong way you got hit, quickly learnt to stay heading in the same path as you were or duck.
