From my local zoo today! They do a little show with the Macaws where they free fly from their enclosure to the show area.

Love the pics, @onamom! That long-billed corella at the end looks like he's doing exactly what they do in the park down the road from my house - digging up the grass and having the time of his life!

Yes!! She was digging holes. I asked a worker if she was looking for food and she said "No, she is just digging for fun right now." Apparently she is also very curious and friendly because she started following people around and the zoo worker had to shoo her away from people

Thought of you when I saw those pretty Loris.

Look at all those beautiful birds! Why do Lori's always look like their heads and faces have pinfeathersI? Like the blued headed ones in the picture?

I think it’s because of the shape and the way they are colored

The feathers on the head and face of Lories almost look two toned.

Exactly! It’s like the edge is dark and the center is light!

Because that's how their feathers look like - it's something common to all lories and lorikeets

I love the pics! Especially lorikeets and macaws
