So lovely to read the stories! I saved a duck once with a broken wing, it ended up being amputated but she survived 3 surgeries to get there and she didnt even weigh 2kg! That was Talli, Named for 'Taleisin' in the Avalon series. A male name, because I thought she was male, shortened to Talli once I knew she was female. She was a pacific black who looked a lot like my drake.
My drake is in my avatar and his name is Wist. Named for a female dragon in the book 'DragonFlame' by Graham Edwards. Couldnt change it. He likes it, hes a bit girly! Pictured with him is his favourite female Varia, named for the amazon queen in Xena.
Wist with Ephinny and Syanne, also named for amazon queens in Xena. I named all the pekin/ pekin crosses for amazon queens because they are 4 times the size of Wist! Also pictured chicken Sheena, jungle queen.
