Percy and Kyp's Summer

It is so not fair that we weren't allowed to go with Marie and Charlotte.  But we have been having fun with the kids.  Book Buddies has been very busy and we've been easedropping on the kids stories.  Lunch bunch has been great - we are getting some extra special birdseed during those classes so we don't feel left out.  Craft was the most amazing though.  The kids totem poles came out awesome!  We kind of wish we had fingers so we could make one.  Well hope everyone is still reading.  You're doing great on your books.

Parrot Vacation Pictures - North America Part 2

Hi All, After the American West we decided to visit the last American frontier - Alaska.  It took some flying but we made it.

Our first stop was Ketchikan, Alaska were we meet some friends

Alice and Henry are Bald Eagles.  They showed us around.



This is a totem pole.

We understand you kids made totem poles for craft.

Well this is a real one that Henry showed us, while we were looking for lunch.

We were told to visit the Glaciers when in Alaska.

Are they something to see.  The ice is actually blue and so was Marie's beak.



Hubbard Glacier

We traveled inland after that.  Denali National Park and Preserve was a great place to rest.
We even meet a moose.  Jack was very entertaining.

Our last stop was Mt. McKinley.
The tallest peak in North America.

It looks a bit like clouds but that is the top of Mt. McKinley

Well hope you liked some of our pictures.  We also visited Canada a bit and then
flew down to Mexico.  We've been in South America all week.
Hopefully we'll get you those pictures soon.

Hope you are all having a fun summer.  Keep reading!
Marie and Charlotte
Your Parrot Friends.

Parrot vacation Pictures - North America part 1

You all meet one of our friends: Charlotte and Marie - both parrots from South America. They were taking a world trip this summer just like us. Well we have finally gotten some of their pictures. They visited North America just like we did last week.

Hey library kids, We decided to share our America picture with you.

One of our stops was to visit our friend Paul, the road runner.

He lives a a mostly desert like area but that doesn't mean its boring

Look below these rocks are red.

These are the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona
This region is known for its red earth. And yes it is red, this is not the sun

We also saw the most amazing thing

Houses and villages built into the cliffs

Native Americans used to build their houses into the cliffs
in this region for many reasons.



While we were in Arizona we stopped by this fantastic place

The Grand Canyon.  It was HUGE!

We flew over this and it was quite a trip -
the wind can really blow over areas of this



Once we left Arizona we saw a variety of things - the Hoover Dam,

Las Vegas, miles of country with horses and natural wildlife.

The best though was Yellowstone National Park

where we made some new friends.

Buffalo. This is Harry and Matilda with their family
Buffalo are popular in Yellowstone where they are protected
from everything except photgraphers.
