They first visited the bird enclosure where they got to see a few beautiful peacocks and peahens, a jungle fowl, and some sociable and highly intelligent parrots. Jumping with excitement students witnessed numerous animals which they had only seen on their television sets. From deer to monkey, rabbits, tortoise, alligators, crocodiles etc. students got a chance to closely observe each one of animals present.
