MOTHER WALLABY WITH BABY JOEY IN HER POUCH OFFERS LUNCH TO A PIGEON - We should stop calling brutal people "animals". Animals are more noble than humans

Photo Ann Cameron - Daily Mail
Come dine with me? Tourist captures the touching moment a caring mother wallaby with a joey in her pouch offers a pigeon some of her lunch 
  • The wallaby held out an ice cream cone full of food for the pigeon
  • Photographer Ann Cameron captured the cute snap
  • Saw the heart-warming scene while at Sydney's Featherdale Animal Park

  • Humans are often encouraged not to feed pigeons but this wallaby obviously didn't get the memo.   The caring marsupial was snapped offering up her lunch to an inquisitive looking feathery friend at Sydney's Featherdale Animal Park.  And as she held out her ice cream cone full of food, a cute little Joey peeked out from her mother's pouch.

     
    The heart-warming scene was captured by 66-year-old photographer Ann Cameron, from Sydney, while on a family trip to the park.  'My granddaughter gave the wallaby the ice cream cone full of food, and the pigeon began eating,' said Ms Cameron.
     
    'The wallaby put the cone down as if it was inviting the pigeon to have some.  'I love visiting the animal park and have often taken overseas visitors there as well.'
     
    Ms Cameron has travelled and photographed wildlife across Europe and South Africa, but her favourite spot remains the animal park, which is only ten minutes away from her home.   I always come back with so many photos which I look at on a regular basis and relive my wonderful experiences,' she said.  'When I take visitors to the animal park, they're always excited to see some of Australia's native animals up close.   

    'This is also why I love visiting South Africa. It is so amazing to see the animals roaming free in their natural habitat.'    Ms Cameron added: 'I love taking photos and it gives me great pleasure to know that people find my photos interesting and diverse.'
     
    Established on seven acres of land, Featherdale has evolved from a poultry farm to one of the leading privately owned wildlife parks in Australia.

    1. This is wonderful & beautiful. I totally agree regarding the comment about calling brutal people "animals". It is insulting to all animals & it has always annoyed me..
      I think if I had seen this in real life Id have cried.

      1. Ziggysue, thank you for your comment. I fully agree. I like to post animal stories on this blog, and I keep finding stories about their kindness, generosity, and even heroism! In fact, many people prefer the company of their animals to that of humans.
