Spot the sloth

Have you ever woken up in a bird cage. I am talking for real, not just dreaming? Well, today, it's actually me in the cage ( jungle hut), and I am surrounded by a very large number of noisy birds. Black ones, yellow ones, white ones.

Although they make a lot of noise, unfortunately, they are rather camera shy, and my bird sound recognition software that works well in Europe is pretty hopeless here (Merlin). First, it doesn't cover more than a fraction of the birds. Second, the phone signal us not good enough to call up the database.

Apparently, some of the sounds aren't birds at all. They are freshwater dolphins, pink ones! Haven't seen those either yet. Correction: I saw a few around lunchtime.

Finally, add to the soundtrack frogs and insects, and you have at least 80 decibels of natural sound.

In the afternoon, we went to the animal rescue and played with monkeys, sloths, poisonous frogs, tarantulas, and other bugs.

Interestingly, the main source of animals is the airport, where people get caught animal smuggling.Read more
