A friend recommended that I go to the "World of Birds" just outside Cape Town. Saw lots of birds at the aviary that I had seen elsewhere in Africa.
One of the most pleasant surprises of this trip was the numbers and variety of birds all over Africa!

| Yellow-billed Hornbill |
I have three favorites (other than the African Penguin, of course): The Yellow Billed Hornbill (shown above), sometimes called "the flying banana."
 |
| Lilac-breasted Roller |
I didn't see a Lilac-breasted Roller at this aviary, but I had my own photo from Botswana.
Unfortunately I never did get a good picture of the Secretary Bird, which was one of my other three favorites, so I snagged this picture from the Internet. It looks as though the bird is wearing yoga tights.
