COLD DARK ROOM

The zoo also apparently has a Black Burmese Mountain Tortoise in the Asian Exhibit, but we could't see him anywhere. I really like how the zoo has made naturalistic settings for the animals which are heavily planted. They even had signs up that were from the animals, saying things like "it's really hot out, so our keepers leave the doors to our cool inside caves open for us! If you don't see us, it's because we're napping in a cooler spot! Please keep coming back- we'll be out again!"
I especially enjoyed the aviary today. There were some beautiful little yellow Weaver Birds building their nests! They would fly onto a banana plant and pull off a long, thin strip of banana leaf/fiber, then fly up to where they were weaving their nests. Some of the leaves were in shreds and some had been picked clean! It was delightful to just sit on the benches under the trees and watch the little birds hanging upside down from a branch working their plant fibers into the nest!

Good evening Adam. Read my last post and notice how I defended you.
What a lovely day you've had Bea. Are those the little birds that build nests that hang like baskets from the trees? It is fascinating how the build those.The zoo also apparently has a Black Burmese Mountain Tortoise in the Asian Exhibit, but we could't see him anywhere.

They make the prettiest nests! Hopefully mr tort is out when you go back to see the elephantsThe zoo also apparently has a Black Burmese Mountain Tortoise in the Asian Exhibit, but we could't see him anywhere.

Do you have an answer yet?
Bit disappointing about the zoo, but sounds like a great day all in all.So kind of you to ask!
I'm doing just fine! Hubby and I went into New Orleans today: went to the zoo to see the new frogs exhibit and the enlarged, revamped Asian elephant exhibit; also the flamingos. I don't know if the pink, plastic lawn flamingos are popular (if that's the right word!
Unfortunately the frog exhibit was temporarily closed so they could "fix some things," and the Asian Elephant domain was not anywhere near completed.
But lunch at Taj Mahal followed by a trip to Whole Foods for organic and unusual foods we can't really get readily in our local shops (decided to get some tamarind sauce to experiment with!). Quite a nice day, actually. Now we're both tuckered out, mainly from the heat.
Have a nice relaxing evening.

Omg do you guys know that when you get a mosquito bite, if you hd a hot spoon against it then it stops the itching. I just tried it and it works!!!!!
I guess that's a good plan B
I'm very good.
Poor, poor, Adam.
Than you, Gillian.
Now beat them all up, please.
No, so a clue.
What else is Bond famous for ?
Be careful you don't burn yourself.
Mosquitoes bite wifey, not me, so it's not a problem.
Shaken, not stirred.
'Vespa' was throwing people off. I don't drink so I assumed that Bradford was some other type of motor bike/scooter.
though I can't explain why I thought he would be some sort of vespa/scooter aficionado.
It doesn't stop stinging the third degree burns just mask it!
Will get you the points.
Gotta dash, more to follow.

Tell me WHO you mean in person, before I begin. Don't want to beat up a person by mistake.
