Wonderful tell, Kat:)
I just gained a better appreciation for the spirit found in the turkey. They make good pets too ... I am think they would probably guard the place from intruders. The goats might put up with being ridden as it is akin to a massage for them ... nature's shiatsu:)
Ha ha! I suppose if you look at it from a massage standpoint then those goats were super lucky;)! Turkeys can always be counted on to provide a bit of amusement around here for sure, I'm betting next year there will be a few new pets around here. They are good guard animals, although the best birds I've ever seen at that job are guinea fowl and geese, there's a combo for ya, watch out:)!
Yes ... geese. They know how to give it:)
Oh my buddy had a pair of big old geese, way bigger than the common Canadian variety. Let me tell you they were as good as any junk yard dog lol. The minute I would pull up and exit my truck, they were there having a look-see. If they were feeling overly ornery or if the smelled any fear, they would menacingly get closer and hiss like a viper!
