OK, wait till the end, stop searching, OK?
We´re back at Caversham Wildlife Park.... Join me - and Sami, who took me there, if you like...
 

 

The big fella is the male, of course, but don´t you think the female cannot stand up?! HA!
Even if.... (not a "gentleman")...
 


Wings are out already, dude!!!!

 
The fish to the right, hmmmm, the carer tried a couple of times, but neither wanted it.
I wonder. Sick, that fish, too old?
This is for ....

Petting zoos and interactive wildlife zoos are fun for all ages! Were you really in the enclosure with those huge birds?

CJ Kennedy said...

They probably would have eaten the fish if it was beer-battered, deep fried, and served with fries (chips)

Jeanie said...

That looks like a super fun day!

RedPat said...

Those are really large birds, Iris. I had no idea they were so big.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, yes, not to play with!

Mae, nonono, we stood outside! But once one "chased" me in Monkey Mia.... boy, they are also QUICK!

CJ, then we would have to fight about who gets it ;-)

____

Jeanie, it was!

RedPat, yes, not funny when one is free and comes at you! I ran (that was 1995)

Hello Iris :=)

Can you pet a Pelican? I think I would be too scared. It must have been fun to watch them being fed.

Iris Flavia said...

1995 a pelican went after me in the wild. They are fast! This was safe fun :-)

Fun to see the pelicans getting fed. They really are wild!

They look like they are well ready for their meal, can't say I blame them, fish for dinner is good.

Would you believe a few pelicans showed up in landlocked West Virginia last November? They were blown off course by a hurricane. Some friends have a raptor rescue center and helped get the birds back on their way.

River said...

I looked for ages trying to spot the critter and you tricked me!
I remember being at Mandurah with my brother R and his wife V where pelicans were walking around trying to get food from the picnicking people.

Eileen, thank you (says also the black swan)....

Sue, that sounds so scary for them!!!! Glad there was help!

River, oh! I wrote "stop looking" ;-)
I think you read that after... looking... I am sorry, I am the same....
Mandurah is still on my list!

____

Shiju Sugunan - LOL!
