Talking oh my......guess where I went!

The Bronx Zoo!!! Got a million pics, actually about 400 pics, still have to go through them but here are a few.....







For those who have never been to the Bronx Zoo, all enclosures are natural, and most are free roaming, these are from the bird house, and the walk through rain forest, you are suspended on walk ways.

they have both indoor and outdoor flights. The indoor is about 2 stories high? and for the rain forest you walk through the flight suspended on walkways. Had a horn bill land at my feet! But all the indoor exhibits are huge! All are 2 stories in height and at least 20x20, or there abouts, some are larger, and there is no glass, the only thing keeping them inside their enclosers is the lighting, the hallways are dark so the birds do not fly out. The birds think nothing of flying about 2 feet from your face. It is awesome. I'll be posting more pics when I have a chance to go through them.

HAhahaha, I think so, they are brazen! Had a horn bill land right at my feet, and some other bird that looked like a cross between a poodle (all his head feathers were black and curly) and god only knows what came right up to me and tried to stare me down.

Do you by any chance notice what they used for climate control? Could you see any box type compressors? Were there skylights? Sorry to pick your brain! This is something we've been planning for so I get excited.
