05/22/2010 ***Portrait of a Sugar Water Addict Welcome to the Hose of Lori at the San Antonio zoo. When you enter here, you are handed a small cup of sugar water and within seconds, you are swarmed by these colorful little parrots. They perch anyplace on you that might give them advantageous access to that water. The early birds land on your arm. Next, they land on your shoulder, then your chest and your head and eventually even on your back. But they don't hurt you. They just want their fix. Once your cup is empty, they move on to the next visitor. Don't you just feel so used? They are really very sweet and playful little birds, toddlers with wings.
