I can't tell you how delightful it was being surrounded by ducks, dogs , chooks, birds and a stealthy guinea pig as I was recording this video. They immediately came around when I sat outside and started to read, giving their little quacks of comments.
It's rather funny how far I've come in terms of getting used to the poultry division heh heh I believe in one of my blogs I wrote about the Hen Brigade and their attempts to storm me as I was trying to collect the eggs! It always brings to mind the story my mum told me about being pecked by my grandmother's geese and ducks, she absolutely detested them and was constantly sporting bruises on her calfs, funnily enough she loved being friendly with the chooks and said when she was younger in boarding school she befriended a wounded chook (hen.. a hen..) and would spend hours petting and talking to it.... I can see the attraction, they don't talk back and sometimes they give you an egg! heh no seriously, I've gotten over the squeamishness of touching the chooks and have even carried a few out of duck ponds (yes yes the saviour of chooks everywhere!)
I also find it awesome how children just go straight in and talk and pet animals no matter what type, absolutely no fear just love. So brave and loving.
Anyway, I'm off to look for my microphone, can't find it anywhere, do hope the guinea pig hasn't picked it up and used it to torture the chook that lays eggs in his little pen , she has no regard for personal space!
love
