Free Flight birds

August 23, 2013  •  1 Comment

CJ and I decided to take pictures of exotic birds after our morning shoot of horses getting a workout at the Del Mar racetrack. Free Flight is an exotic bird sanctuary that is open every day to the public. Birds are available to see (and photograph) on wooden perches and in metal cages. The workers are friendly and quite willing to talk about the birds. Some of the birds are friendly and will climb onto your arm. Fruit to feed the birds is available for $0.50. It is a lot of fun to watch children feeding the birds.

We spent over an hour taking bird pictures before heading home. It is never as easy as it seems and we both want to try again. Getting a good background can be tough as the sun dapples the area. An overcast day should make it a little easier.
