Showers anyone?

We stayed true to our new "happy to be here" plan this weekend. We explored the Animal Sanctuary again, choosing a different area. By far, my favorite place to hang out is called Feathered Friends. This building is home to all of the Birds.


They are always looking for volunteers to help clean up after the animals, but there are fun jobs too. We took the kids to help out and we were given the task of providing showers for some of the parrots! Basically, we use large misters to shoot a fine spray onto the birds as they preen, fluff up their feathers, and of course show off!

M and L absolutely had a wonderful time and so did we! Sultry Husband has decided that he will spend his lunch break handling a beautiful Blue Banded Macaw named Tarzan. He gave the girls each a feather of the most brilliant colors.



One of the most popular birds is the favorite of my girls as well. His name is Seppi, a beautiful white cockatoo. Seppi likes to say typical words like "Pretty Bird", and "Gimmie a cracker", but the most entertaining phrase he utters is "Help! Let me out!"


All in all, it was a wonderful day!
