Here I am in this cage with these birds, these winged multi- colored birds flying around and over my head, chirping with their angry little beaks. swooping down and greedily stealing tiny white cups of nectar from chubby fisted little kids. I am at the zoo with my daughter, she wanted to come in here with these birds, these damn Lorrikets. I am an animal lover but these birds scare me. They keep flying all over and screeching. These birds are disturbing. They are a bit aggressive. I don't blame the poor birds. but I don't trust them, I just know that one will #%*@ on me I am the only one bothered by this. I retain my composure but it is soon becoming too much. I have to get out... I want to leave.. Right Now........

Today we went to the zoo and for someone like me, it is quite the Sensory Overload Zone.
The sounds, the exotic smells, the sights, the feelings....Speaking of feelings, I sometimes feel
sort of guilty at the zoo. I feel that we humans have given them ( the animals)the short end of the stick. I also think that some animals are more intelligent than some people given them credit for.
I mean my cat, Mario, is practically a genius. He decided to stay home today.
