 These are captive birds that were orphaned or abandoned |
 The place had litterally hundreds of these parrots |

 Kyle made some friends, these guys were just roaming free, but were friendly enough |
 This guy tried to eat the H off my hat |
 Crystal's glasses were also a big hit |
 What are you guys looking at |
 A nice healthy Monkey La La (a.k.a. Basilisk Lizard a.k.a. Jesus Lizard) |
 Grizzled old Monkey La La with no fear |
 He looks like a baby dinosaur |

 I just followed my nose! (It always knows!) but I only found this guy, no froot loops. |
 Beautiful flower in the butterfly garden |
 Caterpillar food, and a cool flower. |
