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:

This little one had plenty of different colors. Diet??
An intruder in the aviary?
Our tour guides:
