See the birdy?




Garrett has become interested in birds...whenever we go on a walk he excitedly points out any bird that comes our way. So, I took the boys to the Tracy Aviary in South Salt Lake on Friday morning. It was fun seeing the peacocks just wandering around and the other somewhat exotic birds they house there. They had a show at 11 featuring some more interesting birds, all of which they've trained to do special tricks or feats. It was fun. They had a large vulture, a few parrots, a golden eagle and a hawk...as my memory serves me. It was very informative and entertaining. We had a picnic lunch and just walked around; I let the boys go where they wanted and they seemed to enjoy themselves. Along with the paid membership comes discounts and freebies to get into other Salt Lake and Utah Valley animal places; Hogle Zoo, Thanksgiving Point Animal Country, and the Living Aquarium in Sandy are among those listed. I am excited to take the boys to these places over the next year while our membership lasts.

We really like the Tracy aviary too! I'm glad you boys had a good time. The vulture kind of freaked us out. :)
