Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary

Last weekend we all took a nice long drive to Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary. Set in a lovely area, plenty of natural habitat, with lots of native wildlife to gawk at. Standard story, and although the Bird kids have seen more than their fair share of zoos in their lifetimes, they're (so far) still happy to see new ones.

Highlight of the visit was the "Birds of Prey" show, where various quite large and ferocious-looking hunting birds swooped and brushed over the audience for their amusement. They had a Tassie devil too, but despite Daddy's best efforts at cajoling, he flatly refused to make the signature half-growl half-wail noise that they're famous for. Maybe next time...
