Bird Kingdom, Pt.9

Bird Kingdom, Niagara Falls, ON

Welcome Back!

This week I start highlighting birds from the big aviary called the "Discover the Kingdom". This aviary has many free-flying birds as well, some who are pretty friendly too! They also have a Java Hut, where you can purchase snacks and drinks as well as an enclosed area, where you can buy some tasty bird liquid and feed the lorikeets, who most always attack you if you are holding a cup of this stuff! :-)

Anyway, today I have a Bulbul sitting in it's nest, a D'Arnaud's Barbet (juvenile one), a pigeon, a Conure and a couple of photos of the Scarlet Ibis. There were quite a few of these birds standing around and even fighting over the ledge at one point...hilarious to watch, but very pretty birds and one of my favourites!

This week again went by fairly fast..time flies when you are having fun right? I must be having a great time, then! It was nice to have a long weekend this weekend, even though we did not do too much! Brooke came home on Saturday for reading week and we went out for a nice dinner...Sunday and today, were grocery and laundry day and getting caught up on my Criminal Minds! :-) Spent some time in my craft room too, so not too bad a weekend! 

Enjoy your week!

Bird Kingdom, Pt.8

Bird Kingdom, Niagara Falls, ON

Welcome Back!

This week, I have more small birds from the same Aviary at the Bird Kingdom. These include: a Starling, a couple of Canaries(yellow ones), a Zebra Finch, two White-cheeked Bulbuls and a Java Sparrow. I'm identifying them from the website, so I think they are mostly correct...the yellow ones may not be canaries, but that's my best guess! :-)

This week was another fast one...tiring too! I think I was fighting a cold a couple of days, so was extremely tired! I taught a class on Thursday night, so worked 12-8, which seemed odd to not go in until 12, but at least I got my car's oil changed in the morning! 

Yesterday, Kev and I headed to the Big Apple and also went to Campbellford, where there is a craft store that I like, a cheese factory and a chocolate factory..yep, we visited them all! They also have an awesome bakery, but we didn't go, as we had a yummy apple dumpling at the Big Apple. Today is my usual laundry and grocery day, but had to get my haircut too! SIGH..so much for a quiet day at home! Off to enjoy some quiet time reading a book!

Have a great week!
