Mother and I went last Friday 15th August and I'd promised people on other forums some photo's especially of their aviary. Lets take a tour shall we? the entry voila!  Gotta know the times - otherwise you won't get in!  First stop is the Red Legged Pademelon:  Species Profile:  First Aviary contains a Major Mitchell Cockatoo and a pair of Galahs and the adjoining aviary a pair of Corella's:    Species Profile:  The Corella photo's didn't turn out:  Magpie Goose:   Species Profile:  some Ducks:   Swamp Wallaby:  Species Profile:  End of Part 1. |

Debra those places are so much fun to visit...you should check your area there in Texas to see if hey have bird sancuaries or rehabilitation centers near by you..I went at least 3 times a month to ours..but havent been to any here in Kentucky yet! shame on me!  |

I hadn't been to this one in over a year and it has just about doubled in size in that time. Mummy Bernadette and I had a lovely time. Part 2 contains the newer additions to the Nature Centre. I can't wait until I get to show you their big aviary but I'm posting in order of the walk.

I'm used to the heat. I actually can stand the heat better than the cold. I should go to our zoo soon and take some pics for you all. I don't know of any sanctuaries around her but there is a nice zoo. |
