Dallas Zoo

Flamingos!

They had stations all around the zoo with parrots just sitting on limbs eating and staring at you.  We watched this one eat a walnut!

The bird nature area at the Children's Zoo where Margo got to feed a bird some meal worms! :)

Cowgirl up!

Her favorite part of the zoo - a nature learning lab that was in a little building with a zoo keeper giving kids lessons about the animals in the small exhibit.  Margo got to wear a Dallas Zoo zookeeper shirt and felt like she was hot stuff talking to the real zookeeper. :)

Viewing the red eyed tree frog in the nature lab.

My favorite part of the zoo.  A new baby Colombus Monkey that was born on January 17th.  The mother was holding it and the other members were all patting it's little head and we even saw it nurse from it's mother (they don't know if it's a boy or girl yet because the mother hasn't put it down for them to sex it yet).  It was really fun to see!

You could feed the raven "any paper money" at the end of the show - yeah it conveniently will only take paper money, not coins - good training Dallas Zoo. ;)

Another parrot around the park!

After going all around the zoo, Margo wanted to go back to the nature lab in the Children's Zoo.  It was about a half hour till closing so we went over and the same zookeeper was there and Margo asked her a ton of questions.  Finally the zookeeper asked her if Margo would like to help close down the cages - Margo was thrilled!  Here she is cleaning the algae off the side of the tank with a special brush that has magnets in it to connect the inside piece to the one you hold on the outside. 

Spraying purified water onto the tree frog and around his tank.  She also got to give meal worms to a toad, make sure the king snake didn't go to the bathroom in his cage before the keepers left for the night, and midst water on the green snakes.  She also got to help lock all the cages and was so excited to help with every little detail. :)

Final stop was a ride on the carousel! :)
