Utah Bucket List - Tracy Aviary 09 06 14  

Posted by Amber

So I have a little bucket list of things to do before we move to Peru.  The contract is a one year commitment, but there is an option to stay.  Considering I have a cousin who went to Sao Paulo on a two year commitment AGES ago and has yet to return, I wanted to plan for being gone longer than just a year.... just in case :)

Basically the bucket list consists of things we like to do anyway but haven't done in awhile, the aviary, the zoo, and the new aquarium (which we haven't been to since it opened in Draper).  So my weekends have been booked with fun things, and first on the list, was visiting Tracy Aviary.

First, though, we had to stop in Orem for my cousin Ashlee's baby shower.  It was nice to visit for a few minutes and get a snack before heading up to Salt Lake.
 
They've done some more cute things at the aviary since we last went.  It was also International Vulture Awareness Day, however, we opted out of the walk with Andy, the Andean Condor because we would have had to backtrack :)

She and I both enjoy feeding the ducks :)


 Her wingspan isn't very big compared to the various vultures.

 Checking out the carion ;)

 We wandered around the outside exhibit areas and didn't see many.  The toucans weren't out there.
Then we came in, and they weren't inside either. 
Fortunately, one of the Keel Billed Toucans decided to come back inside.

 Mommy is an owl and Henlie is a sun conure.
