Like Yom HaZikaron/Yom HaAtzmaut, the Rabbanut decided this year that if Lag BaOmer falls on Sunday, they'll move it to Monday in order to remove issues of preparing on Shabbat. For some reason, this grates against me a little more, but it doesn't really make a difference. Just something odd.
Husbinator and Shoshi took off from their respective Ulpanim, and we all went to Gan Garoo. Gan Garoo is essentially a small Australian-themed zoo. Their claim to fame is they have a small kangaroo herd (?) that visitors can pet and feed. We did that part, and it was definitely fun (we saw a joey climb into it's mother's pouch! so cute!), but then we got to the aviary. Aviaries sound nice, but less cool than kangaroos.
And then... They announced feeding time over the PA system... We ended up at the aviary... We got bits of apple on sticks... AND THE PARAKEETS WERE SO HAPPY-MAKING!!! Colorful birdies... Cheerful birdies... Colorful cheerful birdies on shoulders and hands and chasing shoes... AGH! SO AWESOME!
