 |
| Skye and Pippin observing some pretty bird or other . . . holding their mouths shut so mishaps wouldn't occur! |
 |

| This little fellow was very tame - Ronato particularly liked its feet! We think it was an Olive Thrush. |
 |
| Starlings in Africa are super pretty - this one is called a Superb Starling! |
 |
| Some sort of ibis - probably a juvenile Scarlet Ibis. |
 |
| Florid flamingo! |
 |
| We think this is a Northern Red Bishop. |
 |
| Pippin hangin' with a Galah Cockatoo ("galah" is apparently Ozzie slang for "fool" or "idiot" or a gaudy dresser!) |
 |
| This guy was one of our favourites - a Spotted Dikkop. At Birds of Eden, one of these was named Douglas, a hand-reared dikkop imprinted on humans. One did follow us around with a hilarious little uppity walk - we think it might have been the famous Douglas. We would take him home if we could. |
 |
| A Crowned Crane. |
 |
| The wild Blue Crane - the national bird of South Africa. |
 |
| There was a troop of Baboons as we left the bird sanctuary . . . rustling though peoples belongings and looking for food. Lovely sight but they can be very aggressive animals . . . |
 |
| Mama baboons and their babies. This was a fabulous final sight down "Animal Alley." |
Very cool!!
