The Wolf
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Here's a full body look at one of the wolves. They look so much like dogs but there are some differences. The wolves seem to have much longer legs, making them look a lot taller than dogs. They also seem more powerfully built and stronger. With the very light color these wolves have, they remind me of the direwolves from Game of Thrones.Read more

Meeting an Owl
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
After the Predators show was over, a few of the park workers were outside the theater was a few different animals, teaching about them and answering any questions people might have had. This barn owl was one of them. He was so tiny! This is the closest I've ever been to a real owl. I wish I could have held him or pet him but, of course, no touching was allowed. Even though he was small, he looked fiesty. I think he might have bit or snapped if anyone got too close.Read more

Lorikeet Glen
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
After the animal show with the wolves, we made it back to Lorikeet Glen since it was right next the wolf area. We made it just in time, too. The session we got there for was the last feeding of the day. I'm so glad that we made it!Read more

Lorikeet
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Stroll through Lorikeet Glen and make a bunch of new friends as colorful birds glide down to greet you from the branches of this fascinating, free-flight aviary. Grab some nectar and feed the birds for yourself for a more personal experience.Read more

Feeding the lorikeets is so much fun! It feels amazing to have these colorful birds hopping all over me. This is the most fun thing I've done here today!

Feeding Time
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I'm surprised that Kathy didn't want to try feeding the lorikeets but she didn't want them sitting on her. I think she was afraid they were going to poop on her!

The Birds and I
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I wouldn't mind too much if one of the lorikeets pooped on me. Having the experience of them sitting on you is so much fun! I'm so glad we made it back here in time. I'd be so disappointed if I missed this!Read more

Hungry Birds
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I did end up having one of the Lorikeets pooping on me but it wasn't so bad. Since all they seem to eat is that nectar I was feeding them, the poop was just like water. It got on my shoulder and one of the shoulder straps of my camera bag. But, since it was so watery, it cleaned off very easily. When we were ready to move on to something else, both of us washed up at the cleaning station by the exit. I had such a great time with the lorikeets!Read more

Fun with Lorikeets
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F
Feeding the birds is a lot of fun but I didn’t expect them to hop all over me! Well, that’s all part of the fun, I suppose.

Stromboli?
August 22, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
After we left Lorikeet Glen, we passed this cart standing alone and abandoned a little ways off the path. I'm not sure why nothing was being done with this cart. I would think that theme parks would try to take advantage of every bit of space that they have but I guess not. This cart reminded me of Stromboli's puppet theater cart from the Pinocchio movie.Read more
