    What color is this horse?

    As a few people have said, he is a red sabino. Likely with gaited horse ancestry.

    Does this beehive thing work?

    It's a very over simplified approach to keeping bees unfortunately & has lured goodness-knows how many people into it. There are two huge draw backs to this kind of set up & one positive. First of all, one needs to understand the life cycle of the bee. There is a queen bee & she and some...

    Alternative food for rhea chicks?

    We'd have to breed them on a large scale basis but I'm not convinced that this is just a protein problem. I'm actually suspecting a vitamin D overdose. Anyone ever had rheas showing symptoms like this from too much D?

    Alternative food for rhea chicks?

    We have a billion baby rheas hatching at the moment & don't live in a country where ratite food is available. Many chicks lose strength in their knees & can't get up although their legs are straight. Also some have one or two legs turning out from the knee as they grow & then they splat. Any...

    Any South Africans on here?

    I went back to SA for a visit last September & I was happy to be gone by the end. It just gets worse & worse. Still the most beautiful place ever though. Such a pity it's impossible to live safely there. I'm off to Australia in March & we'll see how it goes there. Hot wire/electric fencing is...

    The incredible story of Gimpy, the black skinned, featherless, one legged chicken with pics!!

    Hi guys. Sorry I didn't update for so long. I was really upset. I went out for a bit, a few weeks ago & must have left a window ajar. Anyway, one of the nasty feral cats in the area came in & made lunch of the only 2 birds not in a cage-Gimpy & his quail friend who were in the aquarium :'-(( I...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Mine lives in an aquarium in the livingroom with a heat lamp. No different to my parrots. She scratches & dust bathes & lives very happily. I haven't updated the Gimpy thread because a feral cat got her & I'm very upset about it.

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    I guess I just don't get why my dog has an 8 month quarantine for rabies but the birds can't come at all. Surely they can test for all these bird diseases. We don't even have many bird diseases over here & there already are Galahs & cockatiels so I won't be messing up the ecosystem or anything...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    I like snakes & the bush. I grew up in Africa. We are stuck in the city for a few years because my partner is a computer geek but one day, we'll go farm somewhere & he can do his stuff online.

    Me actually :-) I'll be coming from Israel to Melbourne in March & doing some traveling in the next few months. If there's anywhere I'd like to live, it's Oz & my boyfriend is about to get sponsored for citizenship after 6 years there, so maybe things will work out for us :-)) It's such a pity...

    The incredible story of Gimpy, the black skinned, featherless, one legged chicken with pics!!

    Things aren't going well with Gimpy unfortunately. Her good leg started to bow forward as she grew & I spent this week debating whether I should put her down or not but she doesn't seem to be in pain, gets around & who am I to decide whether a life is worth living, so I chicken out & hope that...
