Em and I fell in love with this tiny duckling. It followed us around, squeaking non-stop at the top of its lungs. It actually got out of the water and would go wherever Emily went. We must have spent a half hour with this duck. We named him Squeaky. The video of Emily running from the big ducks was when she went to the food machine to get some duck food for this guy.
Another neat thing we saw were Lorakeets -- which are sort of like a cross of parrots and small fluffy parakeets. They are brightly colored with loud screeching voices. We got to go into an enclosure with them and they flew around us. The signs said that they might land on you and you should allow them to, but don't "pet" them because they may bite. Em and I were actually terrorized in the Lorakeet enclosure. They would whiz by our heads and seemed unpredictable. I had all these visions of Alfred Hitchcock movies. Mark, however, loved the Lorakeets and stayed in there with them for quite a while.
That's it for today!
