Hi, All. Thanks for stopping by here to look and leaving a comment!<BR><BR><BR><BR>This layout also has the quote on the right hand side of the layout: "A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in. ~ Robert Orben ~" for the DT's August Quote Challenge.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Verbiage:<BR><BR><BR><BR>"Is that a lorikeet on your shoulder?<BR><BR>When you walk through Lorikeet Landing Aviary at Wild Animal Park (San Diego) you are transported to the rain forests of Australia and New Guinea, the natural habitat of the rainbow lorikeet, Trichoglossus haematodus. These beautiful, bright birds are also known as brush-tongued parrots because their tongues are specially adapted to extract nectar and pollen from flowers. But, here, the birds don't have to put in as much effort because you all lent a hand, literally, in feeding them! We purchased small cups of nectar ($2 per cup) to feed the lorikeets as they landed on your outstretched arms, hands, and shoulders. Justin and Veronica, neither you nor your cousins had any trouble attracting the birds once you had the nectar! You were told to hold the nectar cup and to extend your hand to the sky. The lorikeets will then land on your arms and hands to get to their feed. They have been specially trained to overcome their natural fear of humans, and they aren’t shy when it comes to feeding. Justin, you even had 4 birds on you at one time!!! Even though the colorful birds were very noisy this was one of my favorite areas to visit here at the Wild Animal Park."<BR><BR>[The verbiage is mixed...some from a website and some personally written!]<BR><BR><BR><BR>Patterned Paper:<BR><BR>Black & Green Striped: DCWV - The Fall Stack 2,<BR><BR>Black, Green, Orange Squares: DCWV - The Fall Stack 2<BR><BR>Matting Paper - Ckeeter's Et Cetera Tissue Texture - Pink Crinkle, Paper Adventures,<BR><BR><BR><BR>Textured Cardstock:<BR><BR>DCWV: Red #2, Green #3, Green #1<BR><BR>Cardstock: Unknown, Black<BR><BR><BR><BR>Rub-On Letters:<BR><BR>Making Memories - Simply States (Providence - small black, heidi - small black, heidi - small white)<BR><BR><BR><BR>Ribbon:<BR><BR>Red w/ yellow dot - JoAnn Craft Essentials (#C11 Red/Yel),<BR><BR>Green & White Checked - JoAnn Craft Essentials (#C8 - Apple Green),<BR><BR>Yellow...and blue by Offray<BR><BR><BR><BR>Stickers:<BR><BR>"your", "gentleness", "unforgettable" by DCWV sticker value pack (DS023)<BR><BR><BR><BR>Metal Letter - JoAnn Scrap Essentials "Square Clip Alphabet"<BR><BR><BR><BR>Brads:<BR><BR>heart - JoAnn Scrap Essentials "Mini Heart Brads"<BR><BR><BR><BR>Bookplate:<BR><BR>JoAnn Scrap Essentials "Brushed Silver Square Bookplates"<BR><BR><BR><BR>Staple:<BR><BR>Office Depot brand
