Not everyone gets to see a barred owl up close. At the zoo you can although I zoomed in on his face to get closer. Mr. Sleepy is permanently injured and lives at the zoo.
Above are some of the parrots that get to fly around the zoo in the mornings.
Pretty lorikeet in the aviary.
“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” goes the old saying. She was feeding him something. Still, I’d be a little nervous doing that.
Another Mr. Sleepy, it’s rare to see a koala bear moving around during the day. I caught this one stretching.
Creepy critters behind glass.
Injured manatees recuperating at the hospital at the zoo.
Fun at the zoo in late July.
I’d have been terrified to put my hand in its mouth, too! She’s either intrepid or crazy!

Good shots
Stunning pictures you captured. Love the manatees. Don’t think I would take a chance putting my hand in that mouth.
The first photo is stunning!
Looks like a great day out. Nice to see some of our Australian favourites there being the Rainbow Lorikeet and the Koala !
Such awesome photos! Can’t believe they were so close to the rhino.
Love those colorful birds! And the owl, whoooo shines in its own way. Looks like a fun day!
