Toby Goes to the Zoo

[Rhalius]

Must have been so much work to set that all up, I like those offices and the distribution centre. Also nice to see your avatar help out at the zoo. 

[Tiermann]

Amazing amount of work yet again, those are some great looking offices, tons of detail there.

[Daniela]

"Tons of detail" is exactly the right word!

Looking at all the stickers at the walls, the First Aid box, the construction plans, and, and, and...

It´s simply stunning!

I can´t remember, when a diorama has hooked like this! 

BEST!!!!

A very happy Daniela, can´t stop looking at every pic again and again and again

Part 16:  The Education Centre
and: What Toby Didn't See

'What's this place?' wondered Toby.



'It's an Education Centre,' said Daddy.

'I don't want to go in there!' said Toby.



'You have to get a special ticket, anyway,' said Mummy, 'Come on, let's go and see the Camels, then we'll go home.'



What Toby Didn't See:

Although he looked through the window, Toby didn't properly see inside the Education Centre.

Part 17:  The Camels
and: What Toby Didn't See

'Here are the camels,' said Daddy.





'I'm not standing here next to an information board,' said Toby.



'I'm going over here,' he said.



'This is a better place,' said Toby, 'There's no information here.'



What Toby Didn't See:

The camel holding area.



What Toby Saw:

'Look!' cried Toby, 'It's the girl from the Children's Play Area!'



What Toby Didn't See:

Toby and his parents didn't go into the Birds of Prey Exhibit opposite the Camel Enclosure.





So they didn't see the birds on display.



A female kestrel:



A pair of Barn Owls:



Nobody saw much of the Snowy Owl:



The off-exhibit areas have perching branches and feeders.



Tomorrow: Part 18: Time to Go Home

[leefert]

I'm feeling kind of sad that this day at the zoo is coming to a close!

[tahra]

The staves as bird perches are brilliant!

Part 18: Time to Go Home

'It's been an exciting day for Toby,' said Mummy, 'I hope we haven't tired him out too much.'



'Can we go and look at the toys?' asked Toby, 'Please, you said we could!'



'Alright then,' said Mummy.

'Yippee!' said Toby.



'Would you like a toy animal, Toby?' asked Mummy.

'No, there are no pigs,' said Toby.

'How about an elephant?' suggested Mummy, 'You liked the elephants.'

'No, I wouldn't play with it,' answered Toby, honestly, 'I'd play with toy pigs though.'



'Well, let's look around a bit more, now we're here,' said Mummy.





'You can buy new sandals here,' said Toby.  But Daddy wasn't listening.



'This head hasn't got any eyes nor a mouth,' said Toby.



'Lovely dresses,' said Mummy to the sales assistant, 'But I don't really go anywhere to wear such outfits.'

Daddy didn't appear to be listening again.



'Toby! Get off that chair immediately!' said Mummy.



'It's time to go home.'



'It's been a lovely day,' said Mummy, 'And you've seen a lot of very interesting animals, haven't you, Toby?'

'I liked the pigs,' said Toby.
