Oh, do I have a great video for you today. I don't mean production-wise but content-wise.
While visiting Iguazu I was lucky enough to visit a place called Güira Oga,
or la Casa de los Pajaros, or the House of Birds. It is a privately funded organization
that takes care of birds and animals that can no longer do so on their own and
it is a great place to visit if you are in Iguazu, Argentina. The video contains
plenty of footage of parrots, tucans, hawks, a vulture, a few Harry Potter-type
owls amongst others and even some monkeys. If you are a bird or animal lover,
you are going to love watching this video. And yes, that is a bird
saying
"loro," which is spanish for parrot and no, the parrot is not asking for handouts, according to our guide, he is protecting his mate's eggs.
By the way, this was one of the more expensive places to visit while were there there, a whopping 15 pesos per person, roughly $5 US.
Don't forget to check back often as
I will be adding other Iguazu pages to the site in the next few weeks. I can't
believe that I am almost done with this series, can you believe it?!?! I have
had a lot of fun
putting this together for you, I hope you like it. So far, I have posted Iguazu
Waterfalls, "Getting
There," "The Hotel St.
George," "Indigenous
peoples tour," the "Wanda
Mines," and now "Güira Oga: The house of birds." Keep
an eye out as in the next week or so I will be posting "The
Garganta del Diablo," "The
Port of Iguazú," and the "Triple
Frontier between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay". I hope you enjoy them!
