So who went to the Brisbane State Bird Fair today? I went, it was excellent!
An amazing variety of native and exotic birds, some beautiful colour morphs of cockatiels ect.
One thing I loved was it was very hands on - I got to hold a sulfur crested cockatoo, a gang gang cockatoo and a rat (lol)
The best part was of course the reptile section!!! Geckoes Wildlife Presentations had a great display of reptiles, including a Brown Tree Snake, Keelback, Rough Scales Snake, Death Adder, Leaf Tailed gecko, a Saltwater Croc, a Pink Tongue, some Turtles and more.
I got to hold a Bredli and the man running the place was kind enough to let me hold their Pink Tongue Skink (he was so cute, he kept walking all over my hands )
Also they had a table where a Eastern Water Dragon and Bearded Dragon sat motionless on a log. Underneath them was a Shingleback and Eastern Bluey - they were so calm I thought they were fake! Some woman thought they were statues and got the fright of her life when she patted the bluey and it turned its head and poked out its tongue :lol: Also we got to touch the saltie.
BTW I just realised I held a Bredli after holding a rat :shock: that could've ended badly.
All in all it was FANTASTIC and I'm usually hard to please
