Close encounters of the bird kind

Why go to the zoo when on holiday in Thailand? The thing is I bought myself an early christmas present while in thailand. I bought a 70-200 F2.8 IS lens and a 2x extender. What with tax rebates and a sale, the price was just low, low, low. I had to buy it and the zoo was an excellent place to test it. This is an ostrich by the way. If you ever go to oudtshoorn in South Africa you should consider going to one of the ostrich farms. When I went there as a child it was great fun. You were allowed to stand on the ostrich eggs (unless you were really overweight). They would also let you ride on the back of the ostrich. I don't know if they still do that, but at 10 years old it was a lot of fun.

Bangkok zoo is large. It covers a huge area but you can tell that it wasn't built recently. It shows signs of a zoo / captivity philosophy that was more prevalent back in the 70's and 80's. There are very few large open encampments. Instead most animals are confined to relatively small cages. Apart from cages making it difficult to shoot an image it also confines the the animals excessively. My point: If you're going to stick them in a zoo, at least try to give them a lot of space.

This little bird was absolutely adorable and has made me start liking pigeons again lol... he was hopping across the walkway just in front of me and left a feather in my way - the only souvenier I brought back for myself from Thailand :) Alternate title: That Looks Like Ralph on the gril by

TMNT is coming out as an animated feature length film. I'm supposed to have outgrown this kind of stuff, but every now and again I fall back into the whole being a kid again thing.
