A few more pictures from our trip to the Audubon Aquarium.
The macaws are in the tropical rain forest area on the top floor. The parakeets are in a big aviary on a lower floor. The parakeets are friendly if you purchase a little food for a bribe.
We had a great time at the aquarium. Tweet! Tweet!
Back Story
Christy, Jesse, and I took the Amtrak Crescent from the train depot in Anniston AL to New Orleans for a week of adventure and photography. This train station is a classical revival depot and is listed in the National Registry of Historical Places. Jesse loves to ride the train. Heck, we all love to ride the train. We left August 8, 2013 and returned August 14th. Unfortunately Jeremy couldn’t go this time. He had to work. Christy’s father was kind enough to drive us to the train station and pick us up so we wouldn’t have to leave a vehicle parked there for a week. We stayed at our usual place, the historic 905 Royal Hotel in the French Quarter. The 905 Royal was built in the late 1890’s.
See what else I’m doing.

Aww, I love birds! I’m sure the pet stores get tired of me coming in to play with the doves and parakeets without buying anything.

I love birds too. They are funny creatures. I manage a pet shop about once a month and always interact with the birds when I’m there.
Glad you liked the pictures.

Birds and penguins!!! What could be better! I could watch them for hours! I’ve always loved birds! And I love watching the penguins at Sea World! You got some great shots!
And how fun that you could bribe the parakeets! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

I’m glad you like the pictures. Penguins fascinate me.
My first bird was a parakeet.

Wow! How cool! What an amazing list of feathered friends!!! 🙂 Oh…I forgot, we had chickens for a few years. But, other than that just the parakeets. 🙂
Of course we had a menagerie of other animals and fish and reptiles! 🙂
Oct 29, 2013 @ 08:35:39
I understand about the menagerie. We had some other creatures too.

Sweet birds. I love birds and we had parakeets and love birds for years.
Oct 27, 2013 @ 16:57:11
Cool. I had a couple of lovebirds once. They were mean little suckers.

a bird kind of day today. 🙂 (ref my sideways post) i should talk my mate into coming to WordPress, just to comment. he has a great penguin story, from when he was with the Coast Guard, and they were in Antartica. he loves penguins, too. stole a baby. ended up with LOTS of angry penguins chasing him. 😀
Oct 28, 2013 @ 16:27:00
Attack of the angry penguins. That sounds like a great story.

Birds are so cute and loveable. When I was small, we had a parrot at home and it would talk a few words. 🙂 But one of the visitors that came to our place, opened the cage, and she flew away. 😦
Oct 28, 2013 @ 16:28:13
Oh no. What a terrible way to lose a parrot. I had two fly away when I was moving from one house to another.
I love birds.

One of the highlights of my life was seeing a pair of wild red macaws flying in Honduras on the Nicaragua border, back in 1984.
Oct 28, 2013 @ 16:28:43
I know that was. I’d love to see them in the wild. WOW!
Oct 28, 2013 @ 17:04:35
Penguins are cute and funny, but they really stink! Beautiful macaws. It sounds like a fun trip. We are going to Baton Rouge this weekend to visit our Cajun friends. Should be good.
Oct 29, 2013 @ 08:34:55
I’ve never been in an environment where I could smell the penguins. Sounds like a good thing. I appreciate the warning.
Baton Rouge…fun times. Enjoy!
