In February, we were at a resort in the Dominican Republic. While over 100 cm of snow fell back home on PEI, we couldn't believe the whole world was as green and lush as our little corner of heaven at Dreams Resort. The peacocks screamed like cats, and were pretty shy, except for one female who sat down beside me on my deck and kept me company for a while.
The six flamingos were really cool. They hung out in this rocky pool most of the time, but one morning all six walked right past us, on a mission to who knows where. That cold reptilian eye makes me think they don't like us much at all.
This scene was a real mystery. The flamingo grabbed some feed from the bowl, turned its head upside down, and pushed his beak back and forth in the water. The huge goldfish went crazy eating the feed that must be spilling from the flamingo's beak. Now why would the bird want to feed the fish? What was in it for him? The only thing I can think of is that he likes his food wet.
Maybe he was part racoon...wanting a nice clean meal! Hard to believe how tall those birds are!
