Bird Man



This weekend we celebrated Papa's Birthday at the Barn. It was a big party we had about 100 people show up kinda crazy. Janie(my mother-in-law) arranged for this falconer guy to do a show for the guests. He has had his birds up at the ranch for a while and does bird shows multiple times during the week in the meadow. He is kinda a interesting guy he has over a 150 birds. He also owns all the owls from the Harry Potter movies and is the trainer for the films. Anyway the kids have seen the falcon show a few times but have never had them like this before. I was shocked to see the pictures with Max not screaming and folding his arms.

I guess the falcons are pretty vicious if the Falconer does not feed them constantly they will attack each other even their own mates! I bet you have never been that mad at your hubby or wife!

That looks awesome! I'm impressed that your kids let them go on their heads! Caleb just asked me if they had hats on so the birds couldn't go poo on their heads. Nice.

Oh my heavens...that is so awesome. I think I would've freaked out! And I can't believe Max is 4!
