Staglands is a fun place for kids and adults too (but mostly kids) to see, touch and feed birds and animals in their natural environment. It is about an hours drive from Wellington city. The drive is very picturesque too!
The animals are mostly farm animals like donkeys, pigs, roosters, turkeys, deer, fish, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, ponies, swans, ducks, pigeons etc.
Ooh and how can I forget the peacocks - beautiful, majestic birds roaming around freely. The kids loved being so close to them and I sure went on a clicking frenzy :)

Some more birds that I do not know names of...
And some new animals that I had never seen before...

There he comes out to face the camera
He checks me out first
And then struts about and poses
And then walks away after a bit!
It was raining off and on and that made things a little wet and inconvenient. We couldn't stay outdoors for too long and enjoy the lush green slopes of the reserve or take too many pictures. Maybe another time!
The kids couldn't be bothered though - they had fun - rain or sunshine!!
Have a great weekend!
Wow!! nice pics Simran!! I too had encountered peacocks roaming around in Kew Gardens !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amrita!! It was great seeing them roaming around so freely and close by instead of in cages :)
