Bird Park Outing with Lucky

Date: January 28, 2018

Location: Bird Park (Cedar & 28th St), North Park, San Diego, CA

Took a walk over to the local park today with my African Grey, Lucky. Despite the name, "Bird Park" isn't an aviary or a spot specifically for birds like a dog park is for dogs; it's just a standard public green space along the edge of Balboa Park.

Highlights of the visit:

Tree Time: Found a good spot near Pershing Drive to get Lucky out of her carrier and onto some branches. She spent some time climbing and exploring the natural bark.

Safety Watch: Kept a constant eye on the sky for hawks, as they are common in this part of North Park.

Photography: Managed to get several clear shots of her in the foliage.

It’s a great neighborhood spot for some fresh air and mental stimulation, even if the "Bird Park" name is a bit of a misnomer for the area. Just a nice, quiet afternoon out with my bestie.
