Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Farm, Picacho, AZ

On our way home from Tucson last weekend we stopped at the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Farm (http://www.roostercogburn.com/) located off of the I10 in Picacho, Arizona. M and L were given large plastic cups with pellets and each were given a small plastic cup with nectar. We were all able to hand feed deer, donkies, ostriches and goats. After depleting our pellets, we took our nectar cups into an enclosure with larikeets. These are gorgeous birds that land on you and eat the nectar while they perch on you! K had two land on her head and she held one on her arm while it ate from her cup. L had one land on her head and hang out on her shoulders for awhile. B had one chill on his stroller and M had several keep him company including one who perched on his shoulder while M walked around! It was a great experience for the entire family with friendly people working the grounds! I would definitely go back!

Cost for a family of 4 (two children under the age of 6): $10.00
Overall grade: A
