These are captive birds that were orphaned or abandoned |
The place had litterally hundreds of these parrots |

Kyle made some friends, these guys were just roaming free, but were friendly enough |
This guy tried to eat the H off my hat |
Crystal's glasses were also a big hit |
What are you guys looking at |
A nice healthy Monkey La La (a.k.a. Basilisk Lizard a.k.a. Jesus Lizard) |
Grizzled old Monkey La La with no fear |
He looks like a baby dinosaur |

I just followed my nose! (It always knows!) but I only found this guy, no froot loops. |
Beautiful flower in the butterfly garden |
Caterpillar food, and a cool flower. |
