I had delayed posting of this because I want to dig up the old photos that hubb and I had taken at the park when we were dating. Those photos are taken probably 12 years ago! And who would have guessed that the next time we were to visit the park was with our 2 handsome boys!
The visit was actually suggested by Dylan’s teacher. She had asked my permission if she can take the boys out and suggested Penang Bird Park. It was a good idea since I have not taken the boys to the Bird Park.
We left early on a nice sunny Saturday morning. Bryan had his encyclopedia in the car and was already flipping to the pages on birds, preparing himself on what he will see at the park later. We picked Stella up and head straight for the park.
Dylan was cool when we entered the park, but panicked when his dad tried to bring him nearer to the birds’ cages.
Meanwhile Bryan is happy to be there and start pointing and naming the birds he recognizes. For those that he don’t, he’ll attempt to read out their names at the sign.
It was great to have Stella along because both the kids adore her. The kids were so excited to have her in the car and both wanted her to read their books to them in the car. At the park, she took time to explain the things we see to them.
Stella found some peacock feathers on the ground and gave one to each kid. They loved playing with it.
And the best thing about having Stella around is, there is someone to help us take our family photos.
Hubb and I have a photo taken together at the same red bridge 12 years ago. That was the photo that I was trying to find.
We hang around until it was time for the bird show. Meanwhile, we bought some fish food for the kids to feed to the fishes at the pond.
The bird show was actually better than my expectation. It was quite interactive. The trainers actually got the birds, (owl and eagle) to fly across the audience, swooping very low until it was just above our heads. One of the birds wings actually touched Bryan’s hair and he was so excited over it.
After the bird show, we got the opportunity to take photos with some of the birds. Unfortunately, the kids did not dare to let the birds stand on their hand.
One of the hornbill was actually very manja. And we managed to persuade the boys to stroke it’s feathers.
There were also some smaller birds on display near the cage. These birds are very tame and you can actually stroke their feather gently. Stella tried to get Dylan to touch but I think he did not dare.
Bryan is even worse. The moment I tried to bring him closer to the birds, he got frightened.
We left for Assam Fish Soup + Chicken Rice for lunch after that. Just because Stella was around, Dylan ate so much rice. I have never seen him so cooperative. Wish he can eat like that for every meals.
. But he did find one that he liked for less than RM10.

Proudly showing his personally hand written card for his daddy.
Daddy happily eating his breakfast. See the lil hand at the corner. The lil fella refused to stand next to his daddy and said that he wants to sit in HIS OWN SEAT. Also he was too busy digging into my box of cheese. He ate 4 slices of cheese that morning and almost nothing else. O.o
