After we left the observatory, we checked out the shallow “petting pool” which contained small sting rays, star fish, big slug-looking things, and a few other sea creatures. Then we started down one of the trails and entered a large netted area for lorikeets. These beautiful birds were quite friendly, especially after we paid $3 for a cup of nectar. The second they saw the nectar being poured, they were all over it. The birds lapped it all up within just a few minutes. One was walking around on me, literally.
