Stay tuned!

I have pictures of our new llama, but have been unable to upload any pictures to Blogger for a couple of days. Hopefully, they will resolve the matter SOON. Maybe I need a new venue…

Kids at Play

Goat kids are like people kids – if we’re talking about super-charged, high-energy, and probably ADHD affected sort of kids.

Yesterday they crawled under the gate to the chicken pen, and found something to jump on and have a great time playing.

The penhens couldn’t figure out what those strange new chickens were!

And the biggest trouble with their new playpen is that they couldn’t remember how they got IN there, and couldn’t figure out how to get back out. Their Mama was walking around and around the chicken pen and aviary bawling for them, and what did they do?

They just kept playing.

Llama vs. Goats

My little llama girl likes to hang out with the goats. She usually ignores the sheep, and sometimes just does her own thing, but mostly, she’s with the goats. It will be interesting to see what happens when Samson, our soon-to-be-delivered male llama arrives.

However, at present, it’s Kiera and the goats. As much as she likes the goats, she has one pet peeve. She does NOT want to share any feed with them.

I’ve told you and told you, leave MY feed alone!!!

If they persist in trying to eat her food, she finally lets them know in no uncertain llama terms, “That’s it!”

I spit in your general direction!

Ahhh, llamas, they know how to get their point across!

Goat Kids Playing in Snow

I looked out about 2:30am to see snow on the ground. When The Farmer got up to go to work, I got dressed in layers of warm clothes and went out to take pictures. I’ve got a bunch I’ll put up later, but right now I want to feature our goat kids kicking up their heels and having fun.

The cold weather doesn’t seem to bother these little guys. They’re jumping and playing and running as fast as their little legs will carry them. Just check out the little video below:

These little guys sure got spunk!

A Peeling Parrot

Right now my parrot is barking. No, I’m not kidding. She hears Toby barking outside and starts mimicking him. She does a pretty good job of it, too.

A little while ago she was eating a grape. She’s funny about them. She’ll only eat one if she sees a person eating grapes and they give her one. I tried pretending to eat a grape and give her one and she wouldn’t take it. But just let Young Son walk by munching on a grape and she’s eager to pluck one out of his hand.

She has a system to eating them. She doesn’t like the juice to drip in her cage, so she either hangs out over the edge, or uses one of the papers on top as a plate. She rolls the grape around in her mouth until she gets the peel off, then eats the inside of the grape.

She does much the same with apples, carefully munching the fruit while leaving the peel behind.

What a crazy bird! I never know what she’ll do next.
