Now these birds are a must-see item when at the zoo. If you can cath them at feeding time they never cease to amaze!
Category: Greater Vancouver Zoo
This zoo is actually located in Aldergrove, BC, which is about 40 minutes East of Vancouver. The zoo has the usual array of animals and exhibits and is well laid out. There’s even a train that you can ride around the park!

Train
Train runs pretty much all day long and costs $2 per ticket. it’s a great way to see the park on a hot or rainy day!
Reindeer
Yup, actual reindeer! Most likely Santa’s herd, on loan for the summer zoo season? ps…and no, he wasn’t there. There’s a pub in town so we’ll say he was ‘at the well’
Ostrich
Tall and spooky these things look like they could peck your eyeballs out!
Oryx
Smokin fast horse-like animal with long slender horns….kinda neat.

This is the only exhibit that can be seen before you get inside. There are 4 or 5 sheep and you can get fairly close to them.

Usually rarely seen as they are underwater, this time round they were lazing in the sun close by!
Pink Flamingos
Colorful and noisy, these birds really put on a show!

Nasty looking animal…what do these big birds actually do?
