SeaLife Park

We wanted to take the keiki to SeaLife Park before we left the island. It is like a smaller version of SeaWorld.  We all really enjoyed it! There was so many wonderful things to see.  Quinn's favorite part was the Bird Aviary and LeiLei's favorite was the playgrounds. The park is on the windward side of the island overlooking the beach just past Makapu'u.

There was probably well over a hundred Love Birds and Cockatiels in the Aviary. You walk through a couple sets of gates to make sure none of the birds can get out and they hand you a stick with bird seed on it. The "attendant" told us that if we wanted to feed a cockatiel, hold the stick to the ground in front of the bird. If you want to feed a love bird, hold the stick in the air and one will land on the stick to eat. The little love birds were very eager to eat! They would land anywhere on you as long as the seed stick was within reach. We had to go to the aviary twice because Quinn loved it so much! Every picture I took, he has that huge grin! Someday, I'm going to get him a bird. Sweet boy!

LeiLei didn't like it as much. She likes to look at the birds and feed them, but not when they land on her. She did a good job of trying to be brave!

Honu, the Hawaiian name for sea turtle. The keiki even got a chance to touch the shell of a juvenile honu and the fin of baby shark!
