The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

I think this was papaya

Or maybe mango

It was very juicy

Eating juicy fruit with fur is a bad idea

But the monkeys enjoyed it.

It was pretty gross to watch though

They don’t chew with their mouths closed

Monkeys have no manners

They rarely cover their mouths

They are good at making messes

Juicy fur is a big mess

I do not recommend getting juice in your fur

If you have fur

This is a grey cowled wood rail.

Why are so many birds cowled? Have you ever heard the word “cowled” used for anything else?

Hyacinth Macaws are the biggest macaws.

That’s a lot of feathers to deal with.

They are blue and yellow.

They even have yellow on their tongues.

They fall in love

And live in pairs

In holes in trees

And the male feeds the female so she can take care of the eggs

On the other side of the river the tapir checked us out.

This involved lots of sniffing.

Which meant lots of funny faces.

We got to see his teeth

He decided he wasn’t impressed

And wrinkled his nose at us.

So he got out of the water and shook off

And wandered away.
