In August, we went to Hovatter's Zoo in Kingwood, WV where we had a parakeet experience.
It started out innocently enough. John held out a food stick, and a parakeet flew over and landed on it. So sweet. And then...
Let's just say the parakeets weren't shy! It was crazy! It just took a few seconds until they were all over you. Note to self: make sure you wear a hat! We had a little trouble getting them out of my hair. It was fun, though a bit painful. Ha! Those teeny-weeny little bird feet claws are sharp!
The other animals were much calmer. The kids got to feed lots of animals, including the giraffes.
Word of warning, the roads to Kingwood are very windy. I got a little seasick. Grace got very seasick, and we had to make a quick pullover in a store parking lot for her to throw up. A car stopped beside us to see if we needed help. Turned out to be (I think) the owner. He was so kind, which we appreciated more than he will ever know.
Other than the motion sickness, it was a great day, and we will know to load up on Dramamine the next time!
