Nowadays, when you visit the nature center, you are often greeted with a loud "hello" and maybe even a bow. We naturalists are very friendly, but actually it would be Buddy, our blue and gold macaw greeting you! Buddy was rescued last August, and it has taken him some time to warm up to us and for everyone to trust each other. One way to get on his good side....peanuts!! He often settles for a nice head- scratch, too, but only from the naturalists, who he trusts. He has a huge new cage in our new classroom, and also a large perch by the window that he can see people as they come in.
Another favorite animal of our visitors is Hokey Pokey, the armadillo. Since she learned to climb over the baby gate which kept her in our back office, we decided to let her have the run of the new classroom. At night she is put in her cage, but we have to put three boards and two heavy bins on top so she can't escape!
