  • Hope You Aren’t Tired of Scarlet Macaws

    Were you tired of scarlet macaws?

    image

    I’m glad you weren’t, because Matt spent a while chasing flying macaws with the camera

    image

    So there are a lot of pictures

    image

    Yes, I said Matt!

    image

    Only about 2/3rds of these are Kerri’s fault!

    image

    image

    There were no baby macaws

    image

    Kerri is usually the problem when there are babies.

    image

    They are colourful though

    image

    Kerri does like colourful

    image

    I don’t even remember what these ones were doing

    image

    These ones were flying

    image

    But you probably could have figured that out yourself.

    image

    Bye.

  • Red Legged Seriema

    This is a red legged seriema.

    image

    They also look funny floofed up.

    image

    One was gathering sticks

    image

    It would fly down to the ground

    image

    And walk around looking down

    image

    Until it found a stick

    image

    Once it had a beak full

    image

    It would start looking up at the tree

    image

    Then it would do a little hop onto a low branch of the tree, usually losing half of the sticks

    image

    And look up again

    image

    And then hop up to the nest.

    image

    And then back down to gather more sticks.

    image

    It’s friend was gathering bark.

    image

    I don’t know why it wanted bark

    image[5]

    But it was very picky about getting chunks of bark

    image[8]

    They do look easier to carry than the sticks

    image[11]

    It didn’t lose nearly as many hunks of bark hopping up into the tree

    image[14]

    So maybe this is the smart one

    image[17]

    Probably, because it never looked like this.

  • Rio do Peixe

    This says waterfall of the fish river

    image

    There were waterfalls

    image

    On the river

    image

    And paths next to the river

    image

    With stairs

    image

    There were fish in the river

    image

    And many waterfalls

    image

    The river was eroding little caves with stalagtites

    image

    There were also bridges

    image

    Did we mention the waterfalls?

    image

    If you want clever commentary tell Matt to do it

    image

    Here is us with a waterfall

    image

    Here is a selfie with neither of us looking at the camera

    image

    Ooh, the water is really clear here

    image

    And here it’s really reflective

    image

    Time for lunch at the wood fired buffet.

  • Bird Park

    The bird park had birds.

    image

    It was raining so we couldn’t use a good camera

    image

    But they were very friendly.

    image

    This is Kerri standing in a bunch of mirrors to trick the flamingos into thinking there was a big flock of flamingos.

    image

    This is a scarlet ibis.

    image

    The eagle is almost as big as Kerri

    image

    This is a black bird

    image

    With a funny beak

    image

    Which made him funny looking

    image

    But not as funny looking as Kerri

    image

    The macaws were smarter than us and hid from the rain.

    image

    It looked like the Tiki Room
