"Can we start in the bird room?" I ask excitedly. I love birds. I always wished that I could fly like one. The birds I see near our house aren't that pretty. They're all gray or brown or black. I've seen pictures of birds with beautiful bright colors. Today I'm hoping to see a live one.

Looking to mommy first for approval, Adam nods. "Sure, let's start there. There's a reptile room right nearby. Are you scared of snakes?" When I shake my head no, he grins. "Good, because I love reptiles. We can see them after we see the birds. That is, if it's alright with you ladies."

I don't mind his suggestion and mommy doesn't either. He leads us down the path that takes us to the birds. We pass by a few cages with animals. I try not to look. I don't want to see them yet. I want to see the birds first, and then see the other animals later.

"If you want to close your eyes, I can carry you," Adam offers. He saw me trying not to see the other animals. I hold my arms up towards him and he picks me up easily. Mommy says I'm too big to carry around now. But Adam doesn't seem to have a problem. "Are you scared of the animals?" he asks.

"Nope," I say honestly. I keep my eyes tightly shut as I talk. "I just want to see the birds first. What if I see interesting animals and then the birds aren't as good? I'll be disappointed. I don't want to be disappointed when I see them. So I don't want to see anything else until I see them."

Although I can't see him, somehow I know that Adam is smiling at me. "That's a pretty smart idea. You must be really smart for your age, huh?" I hope I'm not blushing. Mommy always used to tell me that I blushed when people said nice things. I can feel my face heating up now, and know that I'm probably doing it again. I can't help it, though. Adam is the nicest man in the world.

A few minutes later, I feel Adam setting me down. I open my eyes to see a white and red building in front of us. "This is where the birds are?" I ask. Once mommy nods, I run to open the door. The grownups follow me as I quickly walk inside. The temperature inside is a tiny bit warmer than it was outside. I take off my jacket and tie it around my waist.

The first bird I see is beautiful. It's mostly red with a white face. The feathers are yellow and blue. I press my hands up against the glass and stare at it. Upon closer inspection, I see that half of the beak is black. "Mommy, look at this one! It's so colorful."

Mommy comes up behind me and touches my shoulder. "You're right, babygirl. It's a very pretty bird." Adam joins us and starts to read the plaque of information. "This is a Macaw. It's a kind of tropical parrot. They live in humid evergreen forests in their natural environment."

"Mommy, can I get a parrot?" I ask. I already know that the answer will be a no. But I have to ask, just to make sure. As I thought, mommy shakes her head. "A pet is a big responsibility," she says. "I don't know if you're ready for that. Besides, pets are expensive."

I'm a tiny bit disappointed. But it's not enough to ruin my day. I move on to the next bird. Slowly, we make our way through the variety of birds. Each one is prettier than the drab birds we have at home. Adam reads me facts about each one. I could read it myself, but I like to hear him say the words in his deep voice.

Eventually we run out of birds to see. I keep looking at the ones I've already seen, because I don't want to leave yet. But it starts to feel really hot inside. I finally let mommy and Adam lead me back outside. The snake building is across from us. I hope that it's not as hot as the bird building.

I'm surprised to find that the reptile building is actually pretty chilly inside. It's not exactly cold. But after being in the stuffy bird room, it's enough to give me goosebumps. I shiver, and mommy reminds me that my jacket is still around my waist. When I put it on, the chill doesn't bother me anymore. Now at a comfortable temperature, I let Adam lead me around.

Mommy seems kind of scared of the snakes. She keeps hiding her face in Adam's shoulder. But he's interested in them. He talks about how one of the huge snakes is able to eat something that doesn't look like it could fit down it's throat. Mommy makes a groaning sound and he laughs and leads her away from the snakes. She doesn't seem to mind the lizards so much.

Even though mommy likes the lizards better than the snakes, she still doesn't like them a lot. After a short while she begins steering Adam towards the door. "Can we go look at the meerkats?" she pleads. "They're a lot cuter than these scaly things. Ally, wouldn't you like to see Timon from Lion King?" Now she's including me in her effort to get us out of here. I'm not sure who to side with.
