Pink Flamingos

Processing videos during my Hawaii trip was simply not an option because of the limited horsepower of my laptop and the slow Internet connection I had. So I'm going to be uploading some over the next several weeks, starting with this one of the most hilarious birds I've ever seen:

A Visit to the Honolulu Zoo

The highlight of my day was going to the Honolulu Zoo. It's not huge but has a wide variety of interesting animals.

These flamingos were absolutely hilarious! When I get back home I'm going to edit and upload several videos I took of them. You will kill yourself laughing!
A peacock in its full glory!

The sheen of this bird's feathers was nothing short of amazing!

These gentlemen, Steve (L) and Milton (R), were fellow avid photographers, though clearly had much superior equipment to me. And yes, I had major lens envy!!!











Here's a video I've put together from my day at the zoo:

Video of My Trip to the Zoo

I put together this video, which I think you'll enjoy.

Zebras, Giraffes, and a Rhino



The Turtles

There are turtles in several areas of the zoo. They are such an ancient species and are adorable in their own right!




Miscellaneous Creatures

You may remember hearing about this.
There are Koi fish throughout Honolulu but these ones were some of the largest I've seen.

Primates

These guys were definitely interested to look at but I felt really sorry for them. I really do question whether any primates should be kept in zoos.


Plant Life





The Big Girls!

There are 2 Indian elephants at the zoo named Mari and Vaigai


Da Cuties

There were 2 animals that won my heart the most. The first was this baby antelope. Who couldn't love that adorable face?

This llama was in the Kids section of the zoo. He was all alone and walked up to me, wanting a scratch. I just couldn't resist!

The Other Birds

Besides the pink American Flamingos, there were lots & lots of other birds at the zoo. Unfortunately many were in cages, which made it very difficult to take a photo through. But here are some you might enjoy seeing.

Flamingos

When you first walk in the zoo, you're greeted by this magnificent sight. They are American Flamingos.








This last one is clearly a bit different than the others. I believe he's a flamingo too, albeit a different one.

A Visit to the Zoo

Winding down my trip here in Hawaii, I'm opting for more mellow activities. Today I decided to visit the Honolulu Zoo. It cost only $8.00 and was a splendid thing to do.
