Yesterday Rosie and I decided to take another Cootes walk. It started raining almost as soon as we stepped out the door, but we just donned our rain coats (or rather, Rosie gave me her raincoat so I didn't have to make a detour home) and headed out nonetheless.
We took the one remaining fork that we didn't take the other 2 times we went; it just led to some residential neighbourhood and wasn't too fun so we doubled back and went to the Aviary. It was actually open this time, and we made it 20 minutes before closing time so we had a good look at the birds. There were mostly pheasants, doves, a pair of peacocks, and a lot of parrots. One of the cockatoos was going nuts in his cage, squawking at max volume and displaying his crest.
Rosie met her twin.

This photo was taken during the Easter weekend. It was just foraging with a few pals not 3 meters from us. Weird cabbage-like vegetation from the Easter weekend walk. When we went yesterday they've all grown into full-sized vegetables. Rosie and I couldn't figure out what they were or if they were even edible. More deer, this time just behind Les Prince on our way back from our walk the weekend after Easter. When I tried to approach them they all scampered off, but we spotted more just hovering near the alpine towers. |
