On our way to Tucson, we stopped at Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. We stopped here<\/a> last year<\/a> for the first time when we visited here and we remember Ava having a good time so we wanted to stop again. We try to instill our love of animals onto our girls and places like these are great places for them to interact and learn about these beautiful creatures first hand.<\/p>\n

Here are some photos we took during our visit. The cost is $5 for adults and kids under 7 are free. The $5 entry fee gets you a bucket of feed and a little cup of nectar for the birds.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
\nGuess who is in charge of babysitting today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Deers<\/a>
\nThese deers are probably kept hungry until later in the day because they were in a frenzy when we walked through the gates.<\/p>\n

\"Ava<\/a>
\nHere is Ava getting a little timid about these deers.<\/p>\n

\"Hole<\/a>
\nThis is a new feature that wasn’t here last time. It is quite hilarious how the goats stick their heads through the wall looking for food. The wall make Ava feel more comfortable in feeding them straight out of the cup. She ran back and forth making sure everyone had their fair share of food. There is a video at the bottom of this post of her doing just that.<\/p>\n

\"Feeding<\/a>
\nWith her embolden bravery while feeding the Hole in the Wall Gang, she wanted to go back to the deers and feed them from the cup. She is not quite comfortable letting them eat out of her hands yet.<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a>
\nSince it is an Ostrich Ranch, there are obviously ostriches here. But they are notoriously aggressive and can be pretty painful to get a little peck from those big bird beaks. Ava decided to skip on down to the next animal.<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/a>
\nBirds! Marlene’s favorite animals. Ava at first was not quite ready to feed them yet so Marlene showed her how it is done.<\/p>\n

\"Birds<\/a>
\nIn no time, she became a pro.<\/p>\n

\"Mila<\/a>
\nMila, maybe next time you can do it too!<\/p>\n

Until next time, happy trails!<\/p>\n
