Zooalicious

Marcus and I went to the zoo while I was on vacation last week. We had a really great time. He kept asking me to take him to the bubble monkeys, but I have know idea what those even are let alone where to find them at the zoo.  We did find the "budgie" parakeets though.  It's a net enclosure that we could enter and interact with the birds.  They even sell popsicle sticks with something like caramel and sesame seeds on one end to feed the birds.  Marcus convinced one of the yellow ones to perch on the end of his while it ate away at the seeds.  I think some if not all had at one time been pets, because a number are willing to rest on your hand if you're gentle and direct enough.

I don't know who this fine fellow on the left is.  He was kind enough to pose for us while we were at the Gorilla house.
