We went to the zoo today with our MOMS Club and had fun.  It was a madhouse there today.  So many people.  But, we still enjoyed the day.  Here are photos from one of their new attractions:

What we would call Parakeets are also known as budgies in Australia (I think).  We bought seed sticks for $1 and then you just had to be very patient to get a bird to land on your stick. Since it was so busy, the birds weren’t terribly hungry.  But, the one that Lara and Ethan got to feed was brave and munched on several of the kids’ seed sticks.  Ethan did great until he reached out to try and pet the bird and he flew away. One of the keepers said that bird is one of the bravest ones they have and they have about 130 birds.

In the car headed to the zoo. We got stopped by a train (which almost NEVER happens on the tracks close to us).
