"Good Fences" crept up on me this week and I was stuck for a while. But, I was browsing through my photos and I came across this one taken in Bali when we were there on holiday.
We were admiring this rather large tiger when we were approached by a zoo keeper who asked isf we would like to feed the tiger - only cost $5. We agreed and were given a long stick with a dead chicken on the end. You can see my niece feeding the tiger above. Very exciting if not a little frightening when this huge cat stretched up to get his reward. The fellow asked if I would like to feed the tiger - I declined , but my cousin agreed. Then Laura (above) fed it again as the fellow kept handing out chickens. He ten demanded $15 not $5. he had neglected to tell us that it was $5 a pop!!
The large fellows above were much less frightening and it didn't cost anything to feed them!!

Wow, I love the animals. Feeding the tiger and the elephants is cool. Great fence shots.. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThe little girl's expression is like, be careful Mommy! How lucky for us that you are sharing such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeletethat would be thrilling (and expensive). :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be an experience alright to feed the animals. Perfect fences and the animals are a bonus and you and the wee girl.
ReplyDeleteI guess that is one way of paying for their food...great captures of your 'adventure.'
ReplyDeleteA much needed fence indeed. I like the curve of the fence in the first shot. I think it would have been fun to feed the tiger. The elephant shots were neat too. I might have been more scared there though as the fencing there doesn't seem to be much at keeping an elephant in line.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I would have loved to feed a Tiger. great shots and essential fences!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beaut fence indeed - as Ida above says, a much needed one! That's a clever little 'feed the tiger' trick eh... aw well, it would've been quite an experience for them. Great post and thanks for your visit Liz :D)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Bali and the tip that you need to be clear of cost before you feed animals.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! When we went to the Wild Ani9nmal Safari here in AZ a year & 1/2 ago, our grandson and sil got to feed the tigers this way also. It was more than $5. though! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt may have been more than $5. I can't remember. I can remember being disgusted though. $5 Aus is a pretty large amount in Bali.
