An Iranian, an Indian and a Pakistani walk into a ...


... bird park. I rounded out the group as the American contingent. We'd hopped on a bus to get there, after skipping out on afternoon electrical engineering talks at their conference.


Some of the birds at Parque das Aves were a bit wary of us...


Luckily however, we happened upon a friendly toucan who offered to show us around and introduce us to all the birds.

Including some birds not so thrilled about their cages (hard not to sympathize),


 And others, who didn't feel quite so caged in.


 

 
We said thanks to the birds for their hospitality and headed to the gift shop.

And now that we knew the bus route, the next day we would know exactly how to get to the waterfalls, located not much further down the road. Hopefully, we would run into some of their relatives there...

  1. When we visited a bird park near Foz de Iguacu my family walked into a big huge aviary full of parrots that dive-bombed us. I don't know how it ended, because I repressed it.

  2. I'm thinking that must be the same aviary that the parrot in the picture above is trying to claw his way out of...for some reason that was the only one we didn't actually walk into...perhaps based on your repressed memories, this was a good idea?
