Hong Kong Park

We took a visit to the Hong Kong Park in Central to visit the bird aviary. It's a pretty nice park to take an afternoon stroll (along route to the aviary there are water fountains, waterfalls, streams with fish, benches to picnic on, and a children's playground) and our little one liked looking at the birds. Okay, he mostly liked racing down the long wooden decks - but who wouldn't? Show him a hill and he has to run up and down it.

I have never seen birds like these before. The feathery heads were kinda scary yet pretty at the same time.
