Feeding the giraffes

We've loved our membership to the Birmingham Zoo (a gift from my family).  The girls saved up their money to feed the giraffes this fall.  I wondered if Nora would get a bit shy when we finally got there, but there were plenty of other people to watch ahead of us in line and both girls were pretty fearless by the time it was our turn.





The girls love to stop by the Red River Hogs whenever we are on that side of the zoo...


They think that the flapping ear tassels and tails are hilarious when the hogs waddle around.


The macaws are kept outside during the day and we got to see them get some snacks.





And Elsa makes sure that we always feed the flamingos - it's only 25 cents for a handful of food, and for her that's a great deal!




Elsa usually shares her quarter's worth of bird food with Nora, who prefers to let the beautiful birds eat off the railing instead of from her fingers.


And of course we always have to make a pit-stop at the reptile house.  Elsa loves the Komodo dragon so much that she has named him "Cod."  Though she is quick to correct me that he told her that his name was "Cod" because she can speak Lizard.
