In the School holidays I went to Willow bank Wildlife Reserve. I saw lots of cool animals there and there is a few of my favorites in this story, I have made it about a part of Heritage New Zealand at Willow bank. Here is my story
Willow bank
“Crunch!” footsteps hit the gravel as people walk up to Willowbank the Wildlife Reserve. Mum, Nate and I hurry along the path to get to the door, inside standing in line. Me and Nate grab some Bird food and Farm animal food. When we got to the front of the line Mum paid and we got a map of the area, first is Wild New Zealand then Heritage New Zealand and Natural New Zealand.
We start by seeing a Tui enclosure at the edge of the café. The second animal we saw was massive eels that were in water next to the wooden path we were walking on. As we continued along the path we saw a few chickens strutting around, so Nate fed some of the Bird feed mix to them, at first they hesitated but finally they ate a bit. Next there was a little hut that had a paddock of Fallow Deer in it, the deer were so friendly and ate some farm feed out of my hand. After the cute Fallow Deer there were lots of ducks everywhere in the waters surrounding the paths. The next main animals we saw were Swans, Ducks and Geese, my favorite one of these animals was a type of Geese called Sebastapol geese that had really curly white feathers. After the water birds was an enclosed area that had some Wallabies lying sleeping in the corner. There was also a big cage with exquisite colourful parrots in it. Some of these birds were Cockatoos, Parakeets, Cool white and red birds, quails and Big black birds that had stunning red underneath their wings!
This was my favorite part of going to Willow bank and I really enjoy going to see animals anywhere. I also saw Macaws, Otters, Capybaras, Kiwis and Ring-tailed lemurs!
Have you ever been to Willow bank?
