610 East Highway 246. Solvang, California 93463
This place is near and dear to my heart. Each time we come to visit Solvang the Ostrich’s and Emu’s are on our list of places to visit.
This trip the young Emu’s caught my attention. They were in a separate area and not yet old enough to make the same deep vocalizations their older counterparts make. These two made sweet high pitched sounds.
Even though we came during the terrible heat wave (high 90’s for the rest of the week) it was still fun to hold out the feed bowls and walk around talking to the birds. I really do think they listen. And a few of them posed for my pictures.
The gift shop (with air conditioning, yay) had a few new t-shirt patterns I really liked. Plus the super sweet kitty cat perched on the counter provided necessary customer support.
Now someone needs to tell the Sun to stop giving us triple digit heat. Sheesh.
You have lovely photos of the ostriches and emus! It was fun feeding the emus.
Why thank you! Yes it’s fun to talk to them.
