The holiday,
which ushers in the "Year of the Rooster" in the Chinese zodiac
is an important festival in several Asian nations, where Chinese
traditions hold sway.
The bird park's two-year-old rooster was fed extra helpings of
mealworms as visitors looked on.
"This rooster brings me back to nature," said Chinese tourist
Wang Jian. "I hope that our lives will also be able to slow down
a bit, to return to a more natural pace."
The holiday begins on Jan. 28 and sees millions of Chinese
return home or travel abroad.
