Some more interesting photos of the bird show at the Al Ain zoo.

Birds swooped over our heads as they flew from one handler to another. 

The eagle picked up a rock to smash the egg before devouring the contents.  

The vulcar looked rather comical as he followed the handler waiting for his food reward.

The silent owl flew over our head without a sound, and then flew back as silently as he had arrived.

 The falcon looked majestic as it stood on the handlers arm, looking around for food every minute of the day.


These are all birds that we would not see flying free in NZ.
