After we ate lunch and went up the yellow brick road to see a few more animals like the wolf, the jaguar, the snow leopard, etc, we came to lorikeet landing also known as the place where the birds will sit on you. The last time that we were here over a year ago, Jaggar may have knocked one to the ground. There were a lot of people in there at the time, so no one noticed except my mom. So, this time, it was just us and one other family. They ask you not to pet the birds but just to wait for one to come to you and not to get in the water. We bought the nectar, which is clear fluid in a little cup, that will draw the birds to you. We waited a few minutes and one flew to my mom, who was holding the cup at the time. Then she handed the bird off to Sage.
I think that it was a little intimidating at first.
We made sure he didn't fling this one down.
And we had a very happy girl. How cute is that?
She wasn't so sure about it climbing up on her shoulder.
And then we took a risk by letting this guy take a turn.
A bit terrifying
But if a picture is worth a thousand words, this is it. Eeek!
Love it.
Look at that little face. After that one bird sucked that nectar down, Jaggar did something that I thought was really smart. He went over to the water, filled the cup with it and said, "Here you go, birds!" Looked just just like the nectar to him. He's a smart one.
