Wingspan

We went to Wingspan again over the weekend to see the falcons and barn owls.

They have a lovely presentation and there are some pretty nice chances for photos. 

Since the birds are not tethered (after being trained to stay around) they warn the

audience that the birds are apt to take off and sit on your head to look around at 

any time, usually the back row, since it's the highest.

I was a bit reluctant to send Hubby for my extra batteries, but he's a good bloke 

and went back to the car for me. On his way back, one falcon perched on a man

behind me and then decided Hubby was a higher perch! Apparently, he makes a great

look-out because the falcon flew over to perch on his head again later!

Barn owls from Australia have become a 'native' since they are breeding here now.

They are gorgeous creatures and Wingspan rehabilitates them along with the 

endangered falcons.

If you are ever in the Rotorua area, be sure to visit! The staff are so friendly and, 

obviously, love what they do.
