hi guys, today we're in Niagara Falls Ontario and we're going to experience Bird Kingdom,
which is the world's largest free flying aviary.
let's go explore
marvel at the rare historic artifacts
see rare birds at every turn
following the bird prints
we're starting off in the niagara falls museum area
different artifacts gathered by Professor Merriweather
on the left you will see his lives work, the search for the lost kingdom of birds
his obsession with the lost kingdom took him to many exotic locations
so this is cool we've got some theming it's more than just birds
the hall of daredevils
...among the other delights of the museum was the hall of daredevils many of the men
and women braved the falls and rapids in all sorts of contraptions...
one of the most famous was Annie Edison Taylor who went over the falls in 1901
professor Merriweather was lost in his final expedition trying to uncover the lost kingdom
of birds.
his disappearance left a dark shadow on the museum and museum staff say you can still
hear the ghost of Merriweather begging for someone to join him on his lost expedition
so apparently we're following the footsteps of Professor Merriweather who was lost searching
for the kingdom of the birds
and apparently he found a three toed anphiuma
maybe the anphiuma got him
ok we've found the expedition base camp and I hear some birds
at the base camp we've got encounters with donated animals
first an african spurred tortoise
more tortoises, leopard tortoise he's really moving
and over here a red footed tortoise
where you going buddy, hi, i think you think I've got food
no, it's not food
cameras are friends not food
got a bearded dragon in here hiding way at he back
look at back there, there's an albino red eared slider
I've seen lots of red eared sliders
oh sunning times over I guess
I've seen lots of red eared sliders but never an albino
hello hello
arthur?
arthur
he's old he was born in 1991
oh where you going
here's a laughing kookaburra
next up we're headed to the aviaries
do you thin we'll see ... birds
the small bird aviary this way
... Professor Merriweather come in please...
... Professor Merriweather was flying a biplane near the valley of small birds i fear the
plane has gone down does anybody read please over...
let's keep moving
surprisingly I think there's birds this way
looks dark in there we're headed to Nocturna
i don't know if you can see it but there's a wrecked plane overhead
i think the professor's plane went down
some poison arrow frogs yellow and bright blue
here's one down here this ones' all blue
kinds cute, here's an axolotl
some little sleeping sugar gliders
it says look down if you dare
challenge accepted
let's see can we see down?
woooooah
can we see down there?
It looks like there's treasure sown there way down there
time to enter the main aviary
could this be it have we found the lost kingdom of the birds?
used to be unique but nowadays every attraction has one... it's the back side of water
thing we can also go in the tea house
says this javanese tea house is from 1875
tons of ornate little carvings here very cool
hope you enjoyed bird kingdom I thought it was a great little attraction
there was a good variety of different animals and birds to see
you know I'm a sucker for any attraction with theming and this one even had it's own story line
