Ok I'm off a little rant but tis a good/happy rant. I've always liked animals and it was logical for me to follow that into uni. But every time I worked with them I fall more and more in love with them. Yesterday my college/uni had a big event called countryside day and I was working at the animal management centre on the bird section. It was Epic. I got to do all the day's husbandry, feedings keeper talks and stuff.

I have to say two little birds have stolen my heart in that day. Two little yellow backed chattering lorry. They are the sweetest birds ever!  They don't 'talk' like parrots do but they chirp back at you when you whistle and will wait for you to reply before doing it again. (I spent half the day in there cage talking with them) and they take food from your hand and all (so did the Monel pheasant female).

And at the end of the day one of them gave me the gift of a pretty red and black feather. ^_^ also got a feather I found from the Temminch's Tragopan aviary and two from the geese. Was such a good day! Birds are awesome!
