Looking at the show schedule and that, it was time for the Rainbow Lorikeet feeding, these are wild birds that come from all over to get feed at the same times every day. You didnt have to pay for the feed which was good, and you could get really up close to them.
After the feeding of the birds we headed into the Kangeroo enclosure where you can just walk around with them, there quite tame and used to us so you could get really close and stroke them. Ken went off to but some bags of feed pellets for $1 each. Time for the roo feeding to begin, i was very anxious but got stuck in, as soon as one came over you would find that 2 or 3 would come over wanted a bit. The sensation was weird because for such big animals they are very gentle when taking the foot from you. It wasnt til mum was feeding the roos that i went over, and what must have been the biggest one wanted to have something to eat. Mum chickened out and left me to feed it, all was going so well until one of the baby kangas came over and put the big ones nose out. The big one boxed it in the nose clawing it, but whose hand was in the way? Mine, and with that i got 2 massive claw marks down my arm.
It was on that note that we decided to leave but as we were leaving mum spotted a ro with its joey in the pouch, so we hung around trying to feed the mother. In the end the joey came out you can see the video of it here.
We then went past the Wombats, fresh water crocs and the Koalas. It was time to decide what photo i wanted to have taken. I couldnt really decide as they had 10 different packages ranging from the single photo through to the photo pass which i ended up getting. For that you got 3 photos with the animals, you could either have the Koala, Crocodile, Snake, Owl or Eagle. I choose the Croc, Eagle and Koala.
