Poor old Goosie, she lost her mate last year and hasn't laid an
egg since . . . at least she can still goose-step and she has struck
up a firm friendship with our last remaining chook (read chicken
if you are in N.America). Both of them have a topknot.
She brings anything lost or hurt home . . . the last thing we
needed was a Billy goat kid, cute though.
to look at, they are now in ever increasing numbers and very
destructive to fences.
had black and white twins.
She was very protective of them and led then away as soon as she
heard me.

ReplyDeleteYou do have some sweet critters, Arija! They do bring so much love and pleasure to our lives!! I've always loved the roos, but then I never had to live with them running loose!! Hope you have a good week, my friend!

ReplyDeleteI liked strolling the farm with you, Arija. What cute twins the black sheep has!
ReplyDeleteYour farm looks lovely and green, quite different from those terrible drought years.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely critters - even the roo, but sorry to hear they are too destructive.
ReplyDeleteLovely animals! So there's a goose and chook romance going on! Animals always find ways to get partners. That brown cow is a real beauty. I love those deep brown, almost black colours. The billy goat Is very adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. These photos were taken some years ago. Whenever I am in Cooktown I go to Cook's Landing, so it became part of my world.
what a menagerie
ReplyDeletewe love our local critters too
My favorite is the goat among the variety of cute critters around you. He is so adorable. Interaction with animals has a way of healing. I love your softy granddaughter. Have happy days ahead.
