The National Avairy

So yesterday we loaded the kids up after church and headed to Pittsburgh for a day out of the house. After no one was able to leave it last week due to the flu everyone wanted some time away. We stopped at Boston Market on the way and had a very yummy lunch and then it was off to the National Avairy. The Avairy is not really big in size so it was the perfect get away since the kids still tire easily. The Avairy has two large atrium rooms, the tropical forest and the wetlands, where the birds roam free and you can enjoying watching them fly around and interact with each other and the people. They also have exhibits where the birds need a certain environment. During the day they have several sessions where you do or witness something special. We got to see the end of the flight show. Our favorite part of that was watching the sea gulls eat and giving money to the crow who then put it in the donation box. It was really cool. We also got to feed the Lorikeets, feed a chicken some corn and peas (Toby loved tha part), watc the rainstorm in the wetlands, and participate in the wetlands snack time. Toby got to feed a birdie a worm. It was worth the trip and we had a great time. Here are some of the pictures I was able to get. Enjoy!
