Feed The Birds

After I'd repaired the kitchen as much as I was able, the girls and I headed to the Franklin Park Zoo.

The Franklin Park Zoo is not spectacular.  It is not.  But it is very convenient and has its perks, like budgie (or parakeet) feeding.  They like peanut butter and seeds, and for an almost low price, the zoo will sell visitors a tiny stick with just that goodness on the end.

Here's Frances feeding and Chandler supervising as two budgies investigate. 

Frances was a little wary of these flying things.  They did swoop around quite a bit.

The first thing Chandler did with her budgie stick was eat its contents.  Shucks.  The birds were still willing to inspect her stick.

The girls both warmed up to this project and we stayed until the exhibit closed.  Then Frances and Chandler went exploring.
