Wildpark

We had a great time at a wildpark over the weekend. We enjoyed a remarkable "Falknerei" show. Eagles and falcons flew over and around the crowds, sometimes brushing their wings on one's head. The owner and falconer put on quite a show, although we didn't understand his commentary besides 'American bald eagle' and 'McDonald's chicken nuggets'. During the show as he's talking he throws chicken parts and dead chicks every which way and high into the air for the birds to catch. Definitely something you wouldn't see in the States. The kids loved feeding all the animals and played until we were all worn out. There was an enclosed area with goats, and as we were feeding them a large one put it's hooves up on us to try to get more food. William got a little scared, because I was holding him and he had a pellet in his hand that the goat wanted. Ava really loved petting an owl, and said, 'Oh, SO cute!" Ethan enjoyed running around all the paths and telling us which animals were the daddy, mommy, brother, sister and baby.
