Post pictures of different animals you or a relative have.

I'm curious to see what types of animals everyone has owned or still own. Please do not post pictures of animals eating prey. Some people might not want to see that. Even if you don't have pictures I'd still like to hear what you have owned.

My FIL has had llamas, fallow deer, ostrich, and buffalo. Right now he has the dairy cows, honey bees, dromedary camels, peafowl, a turkey, some chickens, border collie, pekingese, and cats. His brother has had bob cats but now has buffalo and russian boars. He had the boars before the law went into affect so he is grandfathered in to being able to own them as long as he doesn't sell/give them away. He can eat them himself. One of his sisters has had highlander cows and goats. Another sister has a miniture horse. My mother has owned a cockatiel, parakeet, newt, and fish as I was growing up. I've had a African fat-tailed gecko, chinchilla, blue jay (mother was killed by a cat and the nest knocked out of tree), drawf hamster, ferret, sugar gliders, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, frog in my fish tank, bettas, guppies, pleco, and a ghost shrimp (best thing I had in my tank but died 2 days later). Almost forgot I had to large wolf spiders I caught in the house.

Yes, that is me spoon feeding a male russian boar ice cream. He did have some small tusks on top and bottom but wasn't noticeable till he opened his mouth.

Has your FIL had any car accidents in front of his place?

I'll bet the camels get a lot of second looks!
We had several people stop by here when we had a pair of emu in the pasture. They wanted to see them close up. The emu never disappointed them because they were so tame and liked being pet and fussed with. This is my granddaughter's bus drivers favorite bus stop in warmer weather because my pot bellied pigs and goats are usually out roaming around.
We have an opossum that was found next to his dead mom in the road last spring and brought to us. It isn't an animal I would have ever considered keeping, but is one of our favorites! Schnibber is a big boy now and is one of the nicest house pets we have had. He reminds me of a panda bear, is clean and not destructive.
My husband has ball pythons. We are currently rehabbing an iguana. We have a chinchilla, a cat with front legs like a rabbit, rat terriers and shih-tzus. A dairy goat and blind mini gelding. American bobtail cats that keep mice out of the barn for us. And finches and two button quail that live in the bottom of the finch cage. Oh, forgot the poultry! Holland White turkeys, white silkies and white showgirls and cuckoo marans.
And I think we are taking in an 18 year old mare. Her owners lost their farm to foreclosure and she needs a place to live. I'm going to ask hubby about her tonight.

We are new to the forum so thought we would show off a photo of our new Romney lamb born on the 25th Jan. Because its a girl she will join the flock of 4

and have a happy life here for many years. She is only an hour old in the photo but has already had a drink and a wobbly walk around the pen.
We also have 4 Galloway cattle and 2 ladies are due to calve in March / April. Then there is 7 Rhode Island Red chicks in the basement (too cold in the hen house) - feels like spring is here

People drive by all the time real slow to look at the camels. Sometimes the school bus goes slow also. When we have them near the road in front of the barn during the winter people sometimes walk up to take pictures of them. Definitely something fun to see when looking out the window even though I see them almost every day but I do think of the people that have never seen one before. I do know not to get around them with grain. They go nuts and will be biting each other over it.

I love the archangels! I used to have a pair of the black winged bronze and I had a beautiful pair of blue wing buff. Gorgeous birds! I've since sold off all of my pigeons to make it easier on my parents while I'm away at school.

Never seen a blue wing buff before. I bet they are pretty. I used to have blue wing golds. Hoping those babies turn copper blue wing when they are older. They are crossed with the toy stencil and the copper black wing hen.

 

[Chickerdoodle13]

I have a feeling a blue wing gold and a blue wing buff are very similar. The one show I went to seemed to use both names interchangeably. Of course, I know more about chickens than I do about pigeons! The black wing copper were always my favorite because their heads looked green and blue in the sunlight.

Lol i am still learning about pigeons. I can't believe how many showable colors and combinations there are. I have only been to fair shows. never to a real pigeon show. All of them are too far away.
