World of Birds.

Our last outing with Bev in the holidays was to the World of Birds in Hout Bay.

We were brave and took 4 children!

SO much to see for these animal lovers, we spent the whole day there.

I think Abigail and Willow would quite happily spend a week there, Niave not so much - you have never, and I mean never seen a child so terrified of a tortoise!

Marley could've spent all day talking to the parrots and cockatoo's who seemed very happy to have a willing audience.

Owls, beautiful and eerie all at the same time.

Various species that we met along the way.

Feeding the penguins (and a greedy gannet).

The majestic eagles/birds of prey.

The funny flamingo's!

And of course it's not all about the birds, there are enough other kinds of animals there for it to change it's name from the "World of Birds" to "The Hout Bay Zoo"!
A wallaby, mierkat, squirrel monkey, rooibok, terrifying tortoises and millions of guinea pigs (I think they were multiplying before our eyes!)

Four cousins and their Aunty!
