   • Thank you Albert. My children prefer going to the aviary than the zoo. Somehow, they all hate the idea of animals locked up in cages. The aviary covers a huge area so birds seem to have more freedom.

     • Yayaya… I can see it from your beautiful pictures here. It’s different between the zoo and safari park like this. Although generally farther away from the city (while most zoos are in town, at least in my country), such areas are usually several times wider. Our families usually also prefer to visit the safari park than on the zoo.

6. This is a great collection of photos, DW! I am particularly fond of peacocks, but they have a very loud and shrill call, so I would not like to keep them near my house! The picture of guinea fowl (I think) reminds me (I admit somewhat guiltily) of how delicious they taste 🙂

   • Pakistan had a huge population of peacocks especially in Thar district, in Sind. Then there was an outbreak of a disease called ranikhet in which hundreds of peacocks died very suddenly. I am ashamed to say that on government level, things are not taken care of as they should be when it comes to natural resources in Pakistan. But many individuals have become fierce champions of wildlife which is a good thing.

     • Ranikhet is Newcastle disease in English. People here love and care for peacocks and among the Hindu population it is considered sacred. A tv report on peacocks in Thar region.

       • That was very interesting (although my Urdu is a bit rusty 😉 ) I never heard of that disease. They are such graceful creatures!
