I had a lovely exchange with one of the more recent staff at the leisure centre/country club (this is where I keep the pheasants). I think it's the first time he actually stopped to poperly look at them.
Dandelion was having a moment and zoomed around the enclosure.
"So, why is that one so active? Freaky. Will they not get cold tonight?"
I spoke to him and explained some of the origin.
"Are they from CHINA?!"
"Well, the species are.."
"So, their mom then?"

I noticed Prim having a dust bath and pointed it out. Response:
"But he's getting so dirty!"
Honestly, this young man is in his twenties but just has absolutely no animal experience at all - similar dialogue continued while we spoke about the ducks and hens, the alpacas and the exotics I keep.
My goodness, we need to expose people to animals!
