What a beautiful bird and what an unusual color on the belly. It's like mint green! Very nice! I someday hope to visit the zoo with my camera in tow. Although I really do need to get my kids there. It's been so long I'm not sure my youngest two have ever been. Did you go alone or with the grandkids? #1327675Teresa H. Hunt November 21, 2010
