We've seen so many animals it takes two blogs to get all the photos in. Halfway thru our visit Stanley got tired so he hitched a ride on Grandpa Shoes shoulders for a while. Its a pretty hot day to be out walking in the sun but with a little rest Stanley will be ready to see all the big birds.
They have a bird show at the wildlife park, just like a zoos. Guess what this bird of prey likes to eat best of all. If you guessed mice you are right. Mice are what he looks for out in the wild. He has great eyesight and can see a tiny mouse running along the ground even though he's way up in the sky.
This owl flew right over Stanley's head and Stanley started to cry. Those big eyes reminded him of last Halloween only it was scarier, but the owl wasn't even looking at Stanley. He had his eye on the mouse the trainer lady had in her hand and the owl was hungry and wanted to eat the mouse. Whew! Stanley thought the owl wanted to eat him.
This is some kind of eagle and he is sooooo big. You can see how big he is because you can see him right next to the head of the trainer lady. I bet he's really heavy too.
After the bird show was over Stanley asked for his photo to be taken next to the big eagle and the eagle didn't even mind. We all had a great day at the wildlife park. Our next trip is going to be swimming at the big swimming hole. See you next time. Cheers from Australia!
