Cartagena, Columbia

Today was for the birds! We visited the National Aviary of Columbia. 


Just a few of the many birds we saw. First, a peacock:

His feathers--up close: 




This eagle-like female was really big and ugly:
This guy wore his crown proudly:

Actually, he was my favorite (and I missed catching his name...):
He was a very friendly fellow:



Emus:

Two toucans -- different colors (but both with blue "feet"):


Flamingos aplenty:


The baby flamingo in the bottom right corner of this photo 
hasn't eaten enough shrimp to turn orange yet:

This little one had plenty of different colors. Diet??

An intruder in the aviary?

Our tour guides:



It was about a mile walk through this unique outdoor aviary
 in 89-degree heat, so this was a welcome treat!!
