My mom and her sister went to a little zoo near where we live. My mom loves zoos, mostly because she gets to take all sorts of interesting pictures!

This is a blue and gold macaw. Mom likes big birds like this parrot.

This is a white or umbrella cockatoo. This guy or girl was talking to Mom and her sister.

This is a peahen. This bird kept on looking at Mom and her sister, closing one eye and then the other. Birds sometimes do this so their depth perception is clearer. She was basically doing it so she could get a good look at Mom!

This is an ostrich. Mom was surprised to see them. She’s been to the zoo lots of times and didn’t know that they were there. She had never seen an ostrich this close and was really impressed by their big dinosaur like feet!
Next time, we’ll post about the cats that live at the zoo!
