The grandparents are back in Kerala - and we visited this amazing zoo near Kannur

After we said goodbye to my sister Nina in Goa, Annika was quite upset that she won't get to see her aunty for a long time. But her sadness was short lived. Soon after we reached our home in Kerala, it was time for the grandparents to visit. So one fine morning in March, Annika was surprised to see her dada & dadi in the house. We love it every time they visit us from Jaipur and Annika was ecstatically showing them all her toys. While they were here we visited a "pet station" at Matttool beach near Kannur. It was fascinating to see so many exotic bird species in this part of the world, and needless to say, we loved the family outing. So that's what this video is about. I hope you enjoy it too :)

@JohannaNorth 11 ай бұрын

You’re right, we’re often quite stunned at how rich and vivid her imagination already is and we cant even figure out where she gets half the things she comes up with! Just the other day I put a dress on her and she decided (for the first time ever) that now she is a princess and she needs a tiara too and all, while we never ever call her a princess and dont remember ever even showing her any princess related cartoons or such because we specifically avoid giving her that girls are princesses imagery 😅❤

Ohhhhhh Animals and grandparents. Bless little Annika's BEAUTIFUL life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ she is blessed. ❤ Johanna I did read a previous comment about animal cruelty at the zoo. I also received such comments when I posted vids and pics about India. I think there's a lot of difference in the standards of animal treatment in the East compared to that in certain parts of Europe. But I also see that in the treatment of children too. I guess acceptance is a very difficult thing as it involves emotion ❤ I hope many people watch your videos so they can see how well you treat Annika. You are a very good example of a mother ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My home is at the opposite street from the main road. Until about 5 years ago, this beach was only visited by us locals and sometimes by our guests. The change is mesmerising and scary at the same time.

@JohannaNorth 11 ай бұрын

We have tried to visit there, even if just for the play zone and beach, a couple of times other than this, but haven’t been able to as it’s soooo crowded that all the roads there are completely blocked and we’re just stuck there in those sandy narrow paths not able to drive forward, or reverse because the line behind us still gets getting longer and of course not being able to turn around anywhere as the ”roads” dont allow it. It’s too bad, the play zone is the best we’ve found at a reasonable driving distance from our home. But we’re too nervous of that kind of traffic and crowds to even try to drive there anymore 😅 this wasn’t an issue at all on this first visit that we made in this vlog so you cant see it on the video. i can only imagine how it is for you guys who have homes there!

@afllalibnushahulhameed8523 11 ай бұрын

@@JohannaNorth no I don’t have to endure the said traffic. It’s in the opposite non-beach-side from Mattool main road. On the river side. (Mattool is a long stretch with sea on one side and river on the other. The river and sea meet at it’s end making it a little peninsula). I think if you visit on weekdays or non holidays the traffic will be much better. Try reaching around 3 PM and leave by 5.30ish as well. You said our place is at a reasonable drive from where you live. Which is your place? Have you tried the “Kayal Theeram” restaurant? It’s in Mattool itself. You will get good seafood. Go there and try “Chemballi pollicath”. And the restaurant has a decent play area where you kid can enjoy as well.

First of all We have to think twice before commenting on anything, especially when we criticize others or when we give negative comments about others. We must understand that these are all pets (Pet station ) and domestic animals, not captured from the wild. If we free them it will be a miserable life outside for those animals. I personally visited that place and I also met the pet station owner. He is a great pet lover and also a great human being... I know that they are giving fly time for all their birds and not keeping 24/7 in that small cage. I am sure they are taking care of their pets better than us About Stress level, Every creature in this universe has stress including human beings.....Just think about Wild animals in the jungle...living life in the jungle is not easy for them every day/minute is challenging for them.(don't want to go in details) At least I am sure in petstation ( I am talking about only Pet Station,not sure about other places) they will be getting time to time food/treatment etc but I am not denying the fact that they do not have any stress..certainly they will be under stress but that is life...According to me it is a great place for all the pets.

Not all the animals were desperate or all the cages bad though. Even many pet animals live in cages and wont really survive out in the nature. But definitely some of the animals here had very sad living conditions and especially the bird section had a very stressful environment. Zoos could be good too, but they need to follow sustainable, ethical practises.

But as a whole the beach, zoo and play zone area was amazing, but saying it in so many words in a title doesnt unfortunately work well and this place is mostly known for the zoo so thats the word that i used in the title in the end, even though i agree that they could develop the living conditions for the animals. 🙏
