The Best Summer Internship!

Thanks for all the wonderful replies, everyone! I know I am so very lucky to have had this experience! Strangely enough I'm still having nightmares....last night I dreamed that I forgot to feed the animals for a day and some of the flamingos died. :( Hopefully this will be the last nightmare for a while.

Hmmm....yes, it stumped me too! It's a bit of a generalization but the answer is...Wait, should I give others a chance to guess? :p I'll come back with the answer later. :p
You'll just want to KICK yourself once I tell you! ;)

I really want to say humans since girls usually wear brighter colors than boys, but I'm not sure if that counts since it isn't natural.

Yes, that's the answer she gave! And she was even giving me hints....flipping her hair and batting her eyes while I was trying to guess! Doh!

But you will find that nowhere else in nature....interesting, huh?

However, I'm not so sure I agree that the female eclectus is "brighter" than the male. I mean, they are both colorful.

See for yourself... http://www.parrotsociety.org.au/arti...s/eclectus.jpg
(the females are mostly red and the males are mostly green)

YAY! Laura wins the nonexistent prize!!! :p Good job! :D

Has anyone taken a look at Zoe (http://www.threeringranch.org/zoe.htm)? She has a very rare condition called "amelanosis" which results in striking gold stripes and pale blue eyes. I encourage you to take a look-see! :p

I have, and WOW, too cool!

I'm really excited for you. This sounds like a great experience!

CONGRATULATIONS!

What a wonderful experience! I'm sure it was work, but the memories are worth it.

You did an amazing job of explaining the pictures.

And welcome back.
