Sorry no picture of me Angela not many wanted to go inside the big bird enclosure. Pleased you enjoyed them, always appreciate your comments, thank you very much. They do some wonderful work. There were two old lions that were rescued from a circus, one died, the other one was stretched out in the grass, it was blind and had other problems due to it's earlier life. They said he was not in any pain, eating well and loved attention. So his last days would be happy ones. :D

Visited the Centres and they do such great work. A variety of the animals and birds living there. All the cat shots are taken through mesh fencing. Went into the bird enclosure where I put on a gauntlet (glove) and held some meat out for Mr Vulture to land on my arm, I do not jest he weighed a ton :wink:

:lol: :lol: When he came right up to the fence and pressed his head against it, it seemed like he saying someone stroke me! One guy who should have had more sense put his hand against the fence, he soon jumped back, the lion attacked the fence to get at his hand.
Always appreciate your generous comments merry, thank you very much. Pleased you enjoyed them. :D
