Libby Goes to "Career Day" at the Zoo!

Libby and I spent Saturday at the Minnesota Zoo... it was "Career Day!" We heard some pretty interesting things about jobs relating to animals from zoo keepers, feeders, veterinary technicians and veterinarians. The tour included some behind the scenes looks at how and where the animals are fed and cared for, and where they live when they are not in an exhibit.







The bird show was included, which was amazing. We had eagles and hawks flying over our heads, and parrots talking and making some ridiculous sounds. A beautiful bald eagle came out to finish the show.
There isn't a dolphin show at the zoo, but the "enrichment period" - where they do many of the same tricks they do at shows - was just as good!
Yes... this is a bowl of live maggots... Ewww!
