BIRDS, BIRDS, AND MORE BIRDS…

Eastern crested guineafowl

 

Come and knock on our door…
We’ve been waiting for you…
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three’s company too.
Come and dance on on our floor…
Take a step that is new…
We’ve a loveable space that needs your face,
Three’s company too.
You’ll see that life is a ball again and laughter is calling for you…
Down at our rendez-vous,
Three’s company, too!

They really should train all the animals to sing (trumpet, roar, tweet, snort, growl, honk, etc.) this song to us humans as we enter the park. Wouldn’t that just be hilarious and sweet all at the same time? Or maybe I’d just settle on the African Grey learning the song and singing it in the daily bird show. That would be spectacular! If or when you go see the bird show make sure to sit by one of the many perch’s located in various places in the seating stadium. If you get lucky, you’ll be super close to one of the birds in the show.

It’s definitely spring which is usually mating season with the birds, so they were very busy with nesting, feeding the little ones or trying to impress their mate. I’ve always found all species of birds behavior to be fascinating. So needless to say the time I spend watching them just fly’s by.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
