You can take a small boy to the zoo and show him tigers and rhinos and black bears and emus…
But if he finds out that a peacock will come this close when you’ve accidentally dropped two Cheerios…

Nothing else can possibly compare!


Zoos are fabulous, but I love that kids can often be just as enchanted feeding some treats to some pigeons, squirrels or ducks at the park. 🙂
Happy Wednesday!
Yup! It’s the same reason my boys get such a kick out of getting clack-capped chickadees to land on their hand to take a black oil sunflower seed.
I’d get a huge kick out of that too! 🙂
Oh! So sweet & enchanting, indeed…
and re: Risa’s comment… I’ll have to try that with the chickadees in our garden… would they really come and eat out of our hands? Unbelievable!
