Very nice, MJ. You have great taste!I was given a generous gift voucher for agreeing to undertake additional responsibilities at work.
Did I spend it on sensible things like groceries?? No I did not.

Because there was very little pink among the teacups.
It was heavily discounted but still rather extravagant, and it came in a lovely gift box, which I'll keep.

This kind of news is so heartening. Along with the Tasmanian Devil re-introduction to the mainland this is my favourite news this year!Here's another cute Aussie

From what I have read it is more like introducing some wild animals than keeping pets. You provide extra food in winter and make sure there is water and then they do their thing. I don't think you get to know them as individuals.They are loud but they are not as destructive as chickens so if your neighbours don't mind they are still worth considering & they eat ALL the bugs!
- but the difference would be that I had introduced these birds.

memories will me made for sure !
Neighbours have some & you are right in that they are pretty feral but they do seem to survive & thrive. I don't find them particularly noisy but then my tolerance for bird noises is pretty high given the variety & particular wild breeds we get around here. A flock of green Lorikeets roosting is enough to warrant ear muffs!From what I have read it is more like introducing some wild animals than keeping pets. You provide extra food in winter and make sure there is water and then they do their thing. I don't think you get to know them as individuals.
They don't come to a coop so you can't protect them from predators (they roost in trees) and I don't know if I could cope with the death and destruction that would entail in my place - I am confident that the Guineas as a whole would survive and thrive but individuals would not.
So it would be more like the rabbits and the wild birds than the Princesses.
That said, I cope with the foxes catching rabbits and wild birds - one walked right by the chicken coop yesterday with a mocking bird in its mouth
Hmmm. I don't know. I am very tempted as I have a horrible bug situation particularly ticks and I do think they are funny. Will investigate the noise angle too but it is not what I am most worried about.
They do clean up ticks & that is my main reason for wanting them. I loathe ticks!
Thank you!
