I don't know what to say, I've alway thought of zoo's as an open yet secured land in which animals get to be themselves and yet be observed. To everyone who visits the colombo zoo you will see some amazing things, yet I ask of you to complain persistntly about the bad conditions for the animals residing in it. It was a sad ight indeed after seeing Zoos in other countries. The colombo zoo has beautiful creatures in it but is a bad excuse to mak money. It does not look as if the money is going to proper use to maintain the zoo.
Sorry the pictures are small, after uploading them I realised and now :) I'm simply lazy! Click n enjoy!
White belied eagles.. Great place to take some pictures. No I wasn't inside the cage but this took tremendous effort and fear of having my finger ripped apart. None of that happened and hence more pics follow :D
On my other blog i got a pic of some parrots 'hanging out' But these guys are gorgeous to watch. Flying round in real life is much nicer. Although when i was young i was attacked by a wild maccaw, birds do not scare me. Their beaks do.. then again thats the case ith most women too :D lol :)
Oh.. these 3 morons should go on display.. they were throwing chewing gum at the oranguatan.. I mean if you're an idiot then i think you should be shot n left to die. You have no excuse for publicly displaying your ignorance and finding it cool and funny.
Animal doctors amaze me, for the simple reson that they chose to go a different way.. Why? Their love for anyals or impatience with humans? What ever said and done someones doing this work and it's amazing..
This as the rest of the people i was with said.. was ME.. stting in front of the TV waiting for fod to come to my hand. This guys was just sitting there and extending his hand out for food.. If it missed him and fell a few feet off.. He'd extend his hand once again.. NOW I DON'T DO THAT!!
Behind bars and still having the luxury of sleeping.. I assume this lion has never stepped out of cage.. or it has com to terms that it may bever get back to its real world.. There are some local polititians that should b in here! lol!
Lovely creatures.. I could watch them for ever in the wild.. or untill i get spotted that is :d Then i'd be one of them! :o
These guys must be Sri Lankn :) No offence of cource.. wait.. hell no.. wth all the offene available at hand :) Lazy buggers..
This bird depicts my love for long legged and long necked birds :) of cource i love a good posture as wel.. and don't like feathers :)
Blue Hyacinth.. hope i got the spelling right.. this lil birdie when i saw it first at the zoo was ages ago.. a large cage ith all forms of wild parots in th cage.. they loved it.. from the looks of it atleast and many years later. The guy is alone.. scrawny birds in the cage.. and it looked pathetic and depressing.. This bird is $20,000/- in the market. Would love to see hundreds of them living their life..

nice pics :) as far as vets go they need higher grades than regular medics, rightly so.. i'd treat an animal over a human anyday !!
its sad to hear about the state of the Zoo. It seems to have been in this neglected state since at least the early 90s.
Having said that; I recently saw some Sri Lankan elephants at the Cincinnati zoo, and the conditions were pity-full. These animals had a small plot of land to graze in and their surroundings were mostly dirt and concrete.
It's sad to see the plight of these majestic creatures that once roamed freely in Sri Lanka
i really wish something is done to improve the conditions (for the animals, as well as visitors)at the zoo.There is an over powering stench that should be taken care of, it would help if things were more hygienic too.
savi3 ! How was the exam?? I'm stuck here suffering men.. now its rining like a b**h every day.. hmmm.. so yu wanna be a vet :D
Hari : ur right machng, something done to please mankinds cravings.. lol..
indyana : the zoo is pretty worse now.. more than the stench it's the lving conditions.. i mean the penguins are surely boiling.. and the seal stays under a legde cos its so hot in there..
hallo mate, exam was shite, i had the flu and the fire alarm went off had to stand outside the building for 30 mins.. and oh yeah it was difficult as well.. i wasn't impressed :( but i hv another one in october so shall keep going.. ya wish i'd been a vet or even a dentist.. the grass is always greener on the other side eh? :)
you went to the ZOO? without me? aiyyo...i live just there! next time?
savi3 hmmmm.. grass is greener on the other side?? :D lol :) come on now! I think when im sick in the future im gonna hunt you down no matter where you are :)as for the fire alarm can't say thats a fun experience :D BUT i do hope it wasn't that cold :P
Sweet Idiot : Aiyooooo i didn't know where u live yeah? BUT now that i know.. i shall definitely drag you along the next time!
throwing chewing gum at the Orang...that should have recieved a 'oy monawada huttho karrana" yell at least! And preferably the three of them thrown to the lions...Dehiwalazoo pisses me off b/c they dont have conservation as one of their goals, which all good zoos should have.
Also once in the London Natural History Museums BG Wildlife photo exhibit one of the pics of mans inhumanity to animals was a pic of a bear at Dehiwala Zoo :(
You have an interesting photo blog. Yes, The situation of the zoo is pathetic. The last time I went there, I ended up having crow droppings on my head. Gift from the only free animals in the place!!
By the way hanging birds are really intriguing!
Co25 : tell me about it.. morons all over sl !! lol! Man u serious about the london musaeum?? Get me a pic if you can yeah?
Muthulee : Thanks :D and the hanging birds.. well what can i say! I have great opportunities!!
