Hurray For Chickens!


Feeding the eagles from Living River Farms, organic delights. Took two hours to butcher these, listening to jazz in the garage, FUN!

Preening

 First time I have witnessed Janie actually preening, taking care of all those feathers! Day 18 here. Next we want her to tear up a quail all by herself, holding it in her feet. It will happen, I just know it.

Rope Expert

Nigel the 28 year-old Golden Eagle gets these treats, knots to untie for fun. The one on the left today, wasted one a week ago. He drapes them dramatically over his perches, and Bald Eagle Sonny doesn't get it. Enrichment.


Mose

I often have to remind him that he is a Labrador Retriever!

Our Heron

Our resident Great Blue Heron, identifiable by what looks like a missing back toe on that right foot, and we see here it is just tucked under her foot for some reason, years and years here. My favorite.
