Stranger Than Parrots

I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful garden party recently at Feathered Nest Aviary. Carol Stanley has a fabulous property with many parrots and a few more unusual inhabitants. I was impressed with the flamingos! They looked like the familiar lawn ornaments but they would come over and nibble your toes! The top photo is a flamingo chick! So fuzzy and full of personality. The lower photo is a Purple Swamp Hen chick. Look at those feet! This little guy can walk on lily pads as he looks for snails and worms.
