This is where she has found her love for feeding the birds and trying to determine what kind of bird they are. She enjoys finding lizards and talking to them. She also likes to find unique rocks and bugs, like stick bugs, moths, and praying mantis. She likes to collect pinecones, unique leaves, and acorns.
Emory’s favorite animal is the African Wild Dog. She enjoys watching documentaries on how they communicate and hunt as a pack. She likes how they make sneezing and chirping noises to communicate to each other. She likes their rounded ears which allow them to hear well and cool their bodies down. She believes they are interesting and cute because of their patterns on their bodies.
Her favorite outdoor activity is exploration while out hiking. She enjoys looking off trail for interesting things, like how bugs dig holes in stumps for homes and the birds will eat them. She enjoys seeing wild animals like Javalina or Pronghorn deer. She wants to get a camera for her birthday so can take pictures of animals, especially birds and insects.
