One fine day, we went to the zoo owned by the Lhuillier family in Cebu. The drive going there was smooth, and with the grace of God, we arrived safely.
We eagerly went to the bird show and enjoyed seeing a variety of birds perform tricks. It was such a delightful experience!
The three brilliant red-orange birds with very long beaks at the back captured my attention. They were part of the background. Bye-bye, pretties Scarlet Ibises. The white cockatoos are intelligent, expressive and they mimic what the hosts say. It was funny and amazing.
Look at those geese. The first one in line is the leader. It says, 'follow the leader leader leader'. Some of them say, 'Oh oh, it's so embarrassing. What do we do?' The other one strictly said, 'Just walk.' They look confident, right?
The next bird to showcase her talent is the Owl. Look at her stare. She looks fierce, scary, observant and has beautiful feathers. I remember Daruca, our owl when I was young.
This bird, when instructed to say wings, it spread its wings. So smart! There were also two green parrots singing. And a red-green bird that turns around when commanded.
A woman volunteered and wore a hat with bird food on it. Everyone took a picture.
The red birds stand out around those lush green plants.
This majestic peacock is so elegant to look at. Its tail has a blue-green eye-look pattern. What a beauty! For many years, I thought this was a female peacock. It's a male. Male peacocks flex their gorgeous, colorful tail to attract female peacocks.
It has a stunning mix of blue-green neck and front.
I was amazed to see this beautiful white tiger resting. It's so cute. I would love to cuddle it. haha... What could be its dream? Do they even dream? I think so.
Now it's awake and walking. It has a mate.
What's this spider monkey gazing at? It has long and lanky arms and it's eating something. When I saw this monkey, I found it funny. It sits like a human and has fingers like a human.
My daughter tried to feed the capybaras. I thought they were beavers but they're big.
The Llamas look like a combination of camel and donkey. They have a gentle temperament. That is why it was just out there.
This deer was sniffing the withered leaves on the ground.
Last but not least. The King! The King has rested but it still hunts for its next prey. Oops no... The zoo feeds it 5-8 kilograms of meat per day. Such a pity that is the only angle where I captured the Lion.
I love seeing all those magnificent animals. Nature is truly wonderful and it is an important habitat for our animals. We should take care of it.
It was a fun experience, though it rained, so we hurriedly went back to the shade.
This is Hacienda M. Lhuillier. M. Lhuilllier is the owner of the Cebu Safari and Adventure Park.
And that is all my hiver friends.
I hope you are all safe and healthy.
