A beautiful snowy owl...this is at the Parrot Refuge in The Netherlands.

Beautiful cockatoo.... I came across this website recently about cockatoo ownership. Quite an eye-opener. (not to mention very sad)

Sonny during a calm moment...

Also my LenDay challenge, "Yellow"

Angel and Sonny...(in a rare moment of silence and stillness...having a camera in your face would do it I guess.)

Silly, but I don't remember what this is... a duck? a goose? Think it's a goose... whatever it was, it was on the move.

A momma duck and her babies... oh they were so cute.

A bit close....

I think this is a caique... looks big here but was really maybe 4 inches or so... friendly too.

A pretty cockatiel. Didn't realize (till seeing one in person) that they weren't tiny like parrakeets... Never see these in major chain pet stores. (well, I've never seen one)

And now a black swan. Pretty up close. (just not too close... very aggressive, even when they're used to people being around them)

Beautiful swan. (the type we're more familar with)

Inquisitive beauties who probably thought we had a snack for them....

A beautiful blue & gold macaw.
