No idea what kind of birds they are, but a mother and her chicks, found between Imagination and Canada near some benches. The chicks were cute - and hungry.

First time posting on the photo board and my first time posting a photo ever. (I have lurked here for a long time). I'm not sure if I got this right and if it breaks any of the rules please feel free to delete it or whatever has to happen. By the way thanks for all of the great threads, replies and info on this board. I've tried to learn as much as I can from all of the great photos and ideas posted on this forum. I have a long way to go but many of you have shown me how fun, exciting, expensive :eek: and rewarding this hobby will be for me. Thanks.

UKcatfan, my photo was taken at Mickey's Winter Wonderland show in Disneyland Paris :)

Cool! I would love to get over there sometime. Maybe before the kids start going off to college in a few years. I am so used to WDW, that it would be very strange for me to see a Disney park in a different environment other than hot and sticky!

You've fixed the problem but in case you are curious what the root problem is...

Picassaweb (sorry, didn't recognize the URL, makes sense now based on the google.com domain name), is sending back bogus MIME information in the header (shame on Google, they should know better). Other boards may ignore this information and look at the URL itself for extensions like jpg or gif to determine if it's a valid image URL or not, apparently the DISboard insists on seeing something like Content-Type:·image/gif or Content-Type:·image/jpg in the header.

Isn't Al Gore's interweb fun?

yeah i had to move a few pics to photobucket and relinked it in the thread. its too bad really because pacasaweb BLOWS away any other photo site on the net right now. they have thought of everything you could want to do when it comes to managing large amounts of photos online and have integrated it flawlessly into their site! i love having the ability to upload whole folders of pics at a time instead of only 3-4 photos at one time!!

TC:cool1:

I don't think they weigh too much, they are are not solid. The have a system in the that allows blood to flow through, that is how they cool down. I am not a zoo keeper but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night. (I did some volunteer time at the local zoo and that is what they told me)
