Bird Park

We were looking for somewhere to take the girls that wasn't too far from us and outdoorsy. We came across Sylvan Heights Bird Park in Scotland Neck, NC. If you asked me the names of all these birds, I honestly couldn't tell you but we enjoyed ourselves. We saw a lot of birds you don't normally see at a zoo, for instance. We also got to purchase feeding sticks and feed to give to the parakeets and flamingos. Ava was super excited about the flamingos eating from her hand but not about the mud they left behind on her palms. The parakeets were so vibrantly colored and nibbled right from our feeding sticks. I rather enjoyed watching the family of swans. I couldn't get the best shot because of the fence. We enjoyed a picnic in a shaded gazebo and ended the day with some ice cream.
