Tracey Aviary

While my parents were visiting, we went to the Tracey Aviary.  It was the first time for us all.  Although there was construction we still had a good time...











We went to a show and Madi reluctantlly agreed to volunteer to feed a bird...
Madi nervous of what bird is coming.
Now she is excited on what is coming....

An Emu!






An Emu egg.



Both girls got to put weights on top of a chicken's egg.  The weights were around 50 pounds but it didn't break.  Then they sat a young boy plus the weights adding around 60 pounds.  Finally they had Emma sit on it, breaking it.  The chicken egg can hold up to 75 pounds, if I am remembering correctly (with nest protection). 



What is over there?

Birds!

So good to hear from you, Dannika. It was fun. We saw so many birds that we have never seen before. I can't wait until they are done with construction; we will defiantly be back.
