Bird Park

This weekend we went to KL Bird Park.  It was quite impressive with very large open areas under netting so that it was not too obvious you were in a cage.  It was also large enough that it did not smell bad (except for the ostrich!) and there was no messy places.  In the Butterfly Park, it was Sarah that attracted the attention of the Butterflies.  In the Bird Park, it was Rebekah's turn.  They seemed to take to her easily.  Other than peacocks, we didn't see too many birds that were familiar.  The birds ranged from beautiful to monstrous.  No longer do I think the buzzard is the ugliest bird created. 

Half way through the park, my camera battery was dead, William's battery was dead, and Rebekah's was full.  I guess we should have paced ourselves. 





Once they had the birds rested on her, there were flashes from every direction, not just me.  There were not too many kids her size willing to let the birds hold on to them.  For adults, they would put 6 or 7 birds on them but I guess they were afraid she would panic.
