Out of Africal Wildlife Park in Arizona

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

If you are traveling and vacationing in Northern Arizona (visiting the Grand Canyon and Sedona), be sure to spend a day at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, just south of the Sedona area. The park is a great way for you to see the most beautiful tigers, lions, and giraffes in a totally natural environment – where they have access to to freely roam large areas of this spectacular wildlife preserve. As part of the admission, you can board a jeep-type vehicle and go on a 45-minute “Serengeti Safari” with expert park guides narrating the tour. There is also an hour-long tram or trolley tour of the preserve where you will have access to unobstructed photo platforms that provide excellent photo opportunities of lions, tigers, wolves, hyena and other predators that roam in their large natural habitats.

What I love about the park is the overall cleanliness of the park and the meticulous and humane care that is given to the animals – and that is all due to the passionate (and compassionate) owners, Dean & Prayeri Harrison. Park visitors can come up and touch the snakes! The park has two primary tours, which are a wildlife photographer’s dream come true: 
 
The Wildlife Preserve is an educational hour-long tram or trolley tour, which circles the large-habitat homes of lions, tigers, wolves, hyena, bears, mountain lions and other predators.  Unobstructed photo decks are the perfect staging for an unforgettable photograph of the park’s majestic animals.  The VIP tour also includes lunch and hands-on animal encounters. An Arizona vacation is perfect with a stop at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park

“Building a Chicken Coop” – Book Review

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

When you take on something that appears to be simple and uncomplicated, you will find that usually there is quite a bit more involved than you may have thought. When you consider putting up a chicken coop and start breeding chickens, order this eBook first which is comprised of detailed plans for chicken coops and lots of other specifics you will want to know before starting construction. Chickens are alive and they require the developmental atmosphere all animals require. Nourishment, proper care, and shelter are crucial to raise healthy chickens. Your chicken coop plans are simply the first, but extremely critical, step.

Specific tools are unnecessary to begin your chicken coop construction, but dimensions are a big consideration and should be the first thing to be decided on. There are chicken coop plans for enclosed midsize, large premium and portable chicken coops. Free-range style enclosures are also something that you may want to think about in adding now or at a later date. Organized directions and diagrams are offered for novices, intermediate and experienced builders.

Location is an important aspect of the chicken coop you build on your property. Chicken coop plans always result in a permanent fixture so the outside needs to be pleasant, especially where it is visible by people or in highly active areas. Your chicken coop should blend in with your other buildings and there are factors such as wind and sun and approaching predators to consider.

The author of Building A Chicken Coop has over thirty years experience in what is required in raising and housing chickens and knows what he is talking about in the proper materials, insulation, ventilation, lighting and positioning of your coop. He even shares some tricks of the trade to put you ahead of the game but building a solid structure is only the beginning. Learning about nesting, perches, egg production, litter collection, and how to protect your chickens in different climates is also covered in this book.

Once the structure is done, the chicken coop plans continue to show you how to breed chickens and care for the newly hatched chicks to make your flock self supporting. Making chores a regularly scheduled event helps keep the chickens happy and excellent physical health is absolutely a requirement and is also in this eBook. There are certain foods that can be harmful to your flock, foods that are healthy to your flock and what to do if your chickens get sick.

Raising chickens does take skill, but learning those skills need not be difficult if the facts and a helpful walkthrough procedure are provided. Your chicken coop plans can lead you to an exciting new hobby or business but don’t find out the hard way. Novices are the focus of the eBook and even offers a cash back guarantee if you don’t think it is a worthwhile purchase. Nothing is ever as simple as it may seem on the exterior, but purchasing this particular eBook is the move that can, and will, spell success for you.
