Ribh's D'Coopage

And here is this morning's sunrise from my place! View attachment 2137389

Similar colour don't you think? I wonder if we took our pictures at the same time Ribh?

Just beautiful. It must be a wonderful place where you all reside.

Good evening folks

What beautiful Sunrises... I'm not a fan of weasels either, though the dog makes sure I don't have issues with them.

Here are pics of my birds, not all, just the ones willing to have their pic taken.

They are wonderful Bob. The farm up the hill from us where I grew up had turkeys. They are very cool birds. Thanks for sharing. I love them.

This morning was all about the drama.

Thank you so much, Bob!! Your girls look fantastic & it is so lovely to see them. The BHs look rather like BRs. Do they share some genetics? The turkeys are something else! I swear, I ever get land I am having peacocks just for the tails.

I can't speak for ACM ~ but I think our place is pretty cool.

Good evening everyone


Another beautiful sunrise

Thank you, Sue, though I can take no credit for supplying them.

No thanks. I blame them for Mal and one of my hens when I was a youth. Not a fan.

The site has some wonderful animal art apart from weasels.
I find it hard to condemn any creature for natural behviour.

This ~ though there are animals I'm not a fan of: nearly all monkeys & apes. Orangutans would be the exception.

Yup. You can read about the breed here: Livestock Conservancy. As for turkeys, well they are mostly like big feathered dogs. They love attention and are super curious. Imagine a meter tall bird setting in your lap wanting cuddles. When they go broody, well think of a snake. Sue's trying to get a vid of one of our 10# snakes. Depending on how dedicated the broody is you could quite possibly lose a hand trying to take those eggs. They're gentle pecks (aka I want attention) are not painful at all, but they're leave my eggs alone pecks are quite painful and can draw blood. Remember, I was the guy who had to explain to the city eye doc that yea, my turkey took a chunk out of my eye. Wasn't her fault, but it still happened. btw, the city doc was just beside himself trying not to laugh. He didn't know I already thought it was funny.

I've not had much to do with turkeys.
Love the Hollands though.
