I asked the keeper why these other birds were pecking at the one bundled up. She said that the mother had laid eggs and was trying to protect them. It's really common for parakeets to push eggs out of the nest or peck them so the caretakers try to keep them from breeding in the aviary. Also, visitors will often try to steel the baby birds from the aviary if they find them. They have a inside location next to the aviary to breed the birds to keep the eggs protected from other birds.
"I want you to come to me!"
"Ah! Not on my stick, though."
James & Jackson - good buddies
Tractor Riding Boys - Dallin, Jackson & James
The boys had so much fun running to jump up on these tunnels. Dallin was the best with his long legs, but they all had fun. I just had to help Jackson and James onto the taller ones.
Mima, Alera & Jade
Alera took Jades hand and they stuck together throughout the petting zoo. Alera's such a little momma and Jade loves her.
Flamingo Girl
Trying to get a picture of me with the kids. Does it look like they want their picture with me? James pouting and Jade stubbornly won't turn around.
Finally, as we were leaving they took a picture with me. A fun day!
