The Birds and the Bees (well, sort of...)

 One of several highlights in Sydney was our trip to the Taronga Zoological Park. This post will focus on the birds we saw and could photograph during our walk-through the Australian Rainforest Aviary. It will also feature the many types of flowers we saw throughout the zoo. This will be one of three posts about the Zoological Park.

My apologies as I have no names for the flowers, just that they were unusual and colorful.
