Aussie-Chookmum
Obeying her avian masters
That's no good for the chooks or the dogs.Had a bad few days. The Park has been shut due to Covid. I would have thought it one of the last places one is likely to catch it.
Anyway, the result has been people have been parking up on the edge of the park and walking in......with their dogs! Yesterday I intecepted 7 dogs off leads. two in the donkey field and one found right outside my house!!!
We are on the edge of the park and there is a track that leads from the main road up here. Today (I think some of the farmers threatened to start shooting the dogs) the police shut the track and it's been quiet. Tribe 1 and 2 have spent a fair bit of the day close to my house. This is Tribe 1, minus Treacle who is in the house having supper.
Tribe 3 have been eating breakfast and then heading straight for the bamboo. Because of where their best shelter spot is, they get tend to have to deal with the dogs first. They haven't come out of the bamboo today apart from when I'm there.

Do people think that your property is part of the park?
Would "Private Property. No trespassing" signs help?
Or maybe just "Livestock in area. All Dogs must be kept on leash. Unleashed dogs will be shot" signs!
