Greetings friends and welcome to this week’s blog. Last week we began talking about what’s new in 2018 for design and construction. These week I wanted to start talking about new animals at Timbavati WIldlife Park in 2018. One of the first animals we will be welcoming in 2018 is are a small flock of Masked Lapwing Birds.
The masked Lapwing is also referred to as a “plover.” Masked lapwings hail from Australia, Southern New Guinea and New Zealand. Now these birds live in semi-harmony with humans in the land down under. I say semi because apparently they have been known to attack humans. That’s my kind of bird! The reality is though that I actually found a list of do’s and don’t if a lapwing has marked you for an attack. Ready? Here we go!
- Go the other way, it might be protecting a nest.
- Travel in groups, birds rarely attack multiple people at once.
- Wear a hat.
- If you’re riding a bike get off and run LOL.
Now the bird is only as big as an adult’s shoe but I guess that a shoe traveling at 30 mph or so could hurt just a little bit LOL. They're also not native to the United States so I think you guys should be safe from a Lapwing Attack. Bring your friends though, Our park is even cooler when you can share the experiences with the ones that you love. Talk with you all next week!
