When I went to the Natural History Museum in Berlin a few years ago, I've learned that the birds' evolutionary descendants were dinosaurs. After spacing out for a few minutes looking at a glass laminated fossil of the supposed proof (that really looked like dove ribs etched into a hardened mud), I was like, man, being able to fly is not enough huh. Such a kick ass species!
Here are a few photos of the bird park we visited yesterday. A living proof that humanity will always make the most out of its shortcomings... by holding those with greater abilities in captivity. Aha! I love them birds, at least the park kept me out of having a stiff neck while bird-watching. It's in France and the website has a proper version in English (an achievement in itself). I tried my best to capture more than 3,000 bird varieties in the park but I'm only human. Enjoy!
