Hi, Ducks!

2 days shy of 17 months

.

Wild Animal Park

.

Since Sierra seems to really enjoy birds (kind of interesting since Mommy and Daddy are not bird freaks), we decided to stop by WAP early today and check out the Lorikeets. Sierra has never seen them before and we're curious how she would react.

.

But first, we had to take a picture of her as a giant butterfly.

Lorikeet Landing

Sierra was interested, but didn't really know what was going on. She was in her quiet, observant, contemplative mode. Plus, we had just woken her up from a nap so she was a bit groggy.

Next time, when she's a little bigger, we'll get some nectar.

Outside of Lorikeet Landing, there were some large ducks parading around the grounds. Sierra decided to stop and say Hello in her own cute way.

Because she seemed to like the ducks so much, we took her to the water area with tons of ducks and birds building nests.

Check and see how she reacted.

Mommy, lots of birds and ducks over there! I want to go there! Why won't Daddy let me down???

(didn't get it on video, but a couple times, she very shyly said "Hiiiii" while waving)

While heading out, she also said Hi to the meerkats.
