so whilst admiring all the wonderous wild animals, we stopped at my hornbill to take some photos and have a sneaky listen to what people were saying about him. when who should happen to be showing some guests round the exhibition, Mark Shand, Elephant Family charity founder :D so being a bit of a geek and a luvvie i had to stop him and get a photo with him and my birdie. we had a nice little chat about the artists day on the 24th September the great reception the event has been getting from the public and press and he introduced me to his friends who seemed delighted to meet one of the artists :) it was a rather random but a fabulous coincidence and rounded off a lovely day beautifully.

all the creative creatures will forge one massive herd at the gardens before being be set free and released onto the wild streets of Edinburgh on the 6th September!

i'll be getting on with a press release for me local press this week and will post up soon, but in the mean time here's a feature about the event in which you may recognise a certain birdy :)















"one for the rock, one for the crow, one to die and one to grow" has also featured on the jungle city website




















so proud of the little beeper can't wait to go up to my favourite city and see him living it up taking in all the sights and sounds of the fringe and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
