A favorite, and very colorful spot in the zoo is Lorikeet Landing, where you can interact with these beautiful birds.

This young gentleman \'rescued\' me from a pushy Lorikeet, and promptly got bitten for his kindness. Luckily they don\'t bite hard.

This pastel Lorikeet was taken with macro setting, and I think it\'s the best shot of the whole trip. Dirty beak and all.

Inside \"Wings Of The World\" the lighting was poor and the birds were moving constantly. I took 50 pictures, and kept this one.

Peacocks and Peahens roamed freely, but the males were ratty, so I only photographed the hens.
