I went to Six Flags Worlds of Adventures with my mom. We went through the Penguin encounter and walked over to a cool penguin gift shop but it was closed. So behind it there is a toucan in an aviary. This toucan was showing off his feathers and his beak. So we stayed and talked to him. He decided to show us how he ate by picking up a peice of fruit and flying to his show off perch(the perch directly in front of us). He squeezed the fruit so the juices came out and then tossed it up and ate it. Then it was time for the Shouka Show(Shamu was Seaworld's) We told the toucan goodbye and turned to leave and he squaked at us!! We turned around and went back to him and the whale show was about to start so we asked if we could leave the toucan squaked at us again. We talked for a few more minutes and then we told the toucan we'd be back after the whale show. He finally let us leave.
I can't believe that on a day of relaxtion away from my bossy birds I go and get bossed around by a toucan.
Oh well, goes to prove bird people will be bird people and every bird knows it!!
:D

How cool is that? I bet you had a great time? I went to this zoo in South Carlina,it was awsome. I saw maybe 1,000 different birds. Also a tucan is well. Some really beautiful Parrots and an Amozan. We had more fun with the birds then anything else. Its really true, they I think can tell we are bird people.

We als had a connection with a cockatoo there. HE was showing off and talked to us the whole time we were with him as well. It was very fun.

I was at an aquarium in New Orleans, and in the rainforest section a Blue Jay landed on my head! He wouldn't get off, and kept hopping from my head to my shoulder. He went with me around the aquarium for about 20 minutes. I guess they can tell a "bird person" when they see one!

Yesterday, I went to a Wendy's with Taz. There was a nearby family of geese, two parents and 5 babies. At first they were unsure of our intent, however once we started throwing pieces of bread they got much closer. After about 25 minutes, I got into my van and tried to leave. They got behind it and would not move out of the way, I guess they knew I would not drive over them. The way I got them to get out of the way was, I got out with Taz and had him yell at them and spread his wings. Then they got out of the way.
