Anjalee & Burma at Auckland Zoo

Let us meet the two elephants at the Auckland Zoo, Anjalee and Burma. Anjalee is the younger of the two and she is just 9 years old.  Burma is 32.

A Zeal of Zebras

Just learned that a group of zebras is called a zeal. There are just two zebras at the Auckland Zoo so they are not really a group but they are still more than one so I guess I can still call them a zeal.

Rainbow Lorikeet

Open Lates is back at the Auckland Zoo.  We made it again this year.  This rainbow lorikeet is one of the most colorful birds that I’ve ever seen.  Very aptly named.

Birds in the City

Since arriving in NZ, I’ve immediately noticed that birds are not shy of people.  Unlike back home, where you can’t even take pictures of birds since they would immediately fly away once they’ve sensed you.

Here, they are unafraid. Sometimes, they even take the initiative to approach you and even look at you eye to eye.

Here are some pictures of birds that I’ve taken during our first months here.
