Today we visited the Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary, which is about 75 km north of Sydney (map). We spent the day among the animals and walking the bush trails. It’s a lovely, relaxing place to visit.

While there, I took some videos of the birds that stroll around the pathways. First, an emu. Emus are large native Australian birds. This one came a little closer than I was expecting when I started filming it!

Next, some turkeys. These birds are from North America rather than Australia. They’re busily showing off their tails to each other. A couple of emus stroll past in the midst of the show:

Encouraged by the turkeys’ display, a peacock showed its gorgeous tail and did a bit of strutting around too. This type of peacock originated in India:

It’s well worth a visit to the Walkabout Wildlife Sanctuary (map). There’s plenty to do, whether you like to sit and watch the birds walk by, or go for a stroll along the bush paths, or hear about the animals from the rangers in the park.
