I, too, am a water connoisseur

Well this is sad:

Project Waterworld was on hold, but after seeing the Pekins splash around in buckets and then "swim" on land by waddling around quickly all the while looking longingly at the other ducks and geese swimming happily in the little pool, we decided it was time to pick up the pace.  Waterworld is almost complete; we started filling it tonight but it will probably take several days to completely fill.  Pictures forthcoming.

Life is just so mysterious

Apparently no one can think of a motive for this.

What kind of frog is this?

First they came for the scientists who used the scientific cone of shame

But I did nothing because I hated science.

Why does everyone hate the Axolotl?

And where is the miniature giraffe?

Project Shutyobeak

The turkeys enjoy their new home, but since they are such social creatures they start peeping loudly whenever they cannot see us.  What scares me is that the turkeys may actually starve themselves to death--they just pile up in one of the corners of the enclosure and peep.  Every time I walked over to the enclosure they would then run back to the food and water, but only while I was there.  My solution to this problem is leaning against the coop and seems to be working.

Update: Near the end of the day the turkeys started peeping again, so I may have to think of another solution.

Army of Duckness

We took the ducks and geese on a little field trip today: first to the swimming pool and then to the temporarily vacant turkey enclosure to dry off.
