While I will always reserve a special place in my heart for our friends of the water — I was after all probably a sea horse or angel fish in a past life — I was still very excited to visit the Aviary Park in Ocean World in Puerto Plata.
The second I walked into the Love Birds cage a group of them flew over to me and showered me with what else but love!
They were such gorgeous little creatures that I could not get enough of and for the second time of the day I got kissed.
I could have stayed there playing with them for hours, but it was time to see the next exhibit. First, we walked through a rain forest that briefly transported me back to the Amazon.
The next stop, the iguanas, was the newest exhibit at Ocean World.
Again, I was so surprised at how friendly, like all of the animals I had encountered thus far, they were. Sadly, there were no kisses from them, but I need not fear as more kisses were right around the corner. . .

The cold weather here in Buenos Aires, and these cute pictures, are making me crave some sun!
I was just in BsAs last week! The weather here is incredible!!
Love! It always weirds me out a little at first when I have birds sit on my shoulder or something like that, but then I relax
Haha the sitting on my shoulder part wasn’t too weird, when it wouldn’t leave the top of my head that’s when it was creeping me out a bit, but the kisses were sweet!!!
Absolutely amazing!
Awww I agree!!!
ah! I love the bird-kissing photo, haha. Actually, I love all of the photos
Thank you so much! I have more kissy photos to come!!!
Love the super close-ups of the iguana. Great detail!
