For Ben's birthday the other week we headed down to the Big Pineapple where they have the QLD zoo (formerly Alma Park zoo). It's doesn't quite compete with Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo down the road but QLD zoo is a whole lot cheaper and quite interactive for a small place. I'm going to divide the post into two sections, the farm animals (today's post) and the Australian animals for tomorrow :)
When you walk in you can grab some feed for a few bucks. I'd definitely recommend this but then again I always give my bags to Ben because I'm too scared! *scary flashbacks to Nara and those deer*
I loved this dude and not surprisingly he features most in this post today!
Piggie!! how awesome are pigs :)
Chicken! MY beautiful chicken Oblina got eaten the other day, I still have such a hard time walking into the yard and her not being there. She was the best and it was just such unfortunately circumstance that our metal fence flew open and the neighbours dog took advantage. We have decided our place is too unsafe to have any more chickens for now, which is really sad too :( I didn't mean for this post to take such a turn but I really want to say chickens make such awesome pets and she gave us lots of love and go chickens! :) :)
Mr Llama makes a comeback and to his left, dare I say, his cuter cousin, the Alpaca!
Ben getting his pat on with one super cute cow!
We also got to play with baby chicks!! I usually miss out because everyone else crowds around (when baby chicks are involved) but Ben and I had them all to ourselves!!! They were so playful and active and then would tire themselves out and fall asleep on the spot :p
Piglet!! This guy made so much noise and I kept saying to Ben - I want a pig!!!
Mr sheep! Or maybe Mrs :)
Some colourful bantams which provided some hair colour inspiration :)
And one final appearance from our alpaca friend
And llama dude!
Tomorrow I'm back with a bunch more cute animals!
