Last Day to Celebrate National Zoo and Aquarium Month in 2026?🐟🐠🦉🐨🌲

Every June

I won't be going to the zoo again today, but I did buy a year pass on Sunday to 'Lone Pine', so I hope I make an effort to go a few more times before it expires ... which should be just before this time next year.

One thing that made me a little sad while walking around 'Lone Pine' was the rather small cages the flying animals were kept in.

Most of the other animals in the park seem to have enough room to move except the flying creatures.

I really don't like birds being kept in cages, and a few synchromystic incidents on Sunday rammed it home for me.

One was seeing a wild Tawny Frogmouth visit its friend in the cage, like it was there on a prison visit.

The other was when I got home that afternoon and picked up from where I left off in my current book that I'm reading 'Jack of Diamonds' and read the passage below.

The bird park I visited in Singapore last year had plenty of room in their aviaries for the birds to fly around in.

I walked under these dingoes pictured below hoping they wouldn't take a wizz on me through the roof.

With next year being the Year of the Goat/Ram, I thought it was amusing that the sheep are right next to the goats in the park:-)

There's even a quokka housed in the park and next month me and my youngest son are heading to the other side of the country to see some in the wild hopefully.
