Welcome to our menagerie! As lovers of birds and animals, this larger
property has enabled us to share our space with a wider variety of devoted
companions.
Our Golden Labrador
Honey is our golden Labrador who came to us as a 12-month-old dog, having
been rejected by the Guide Dogs' Association because she had been too boisterous
for further training. We have had her for 2 years now and she has developed into
an affectionate, gentle-natured dog, much loved by all the family.
Missy our Young Cat
One day we went shopping for some goldfish for the pond and simply couldn't
resist bringing Missy home! Whilst we have had a number of cats over the years,
we refused to have one here because of the native birdlife. However, Missy was
too irresistable to leave behind and we are delighted to see that she pays no
attention whatsoever to any of the birds.
Free-Range Chickens
In Australia, chickens are referred to as Chooks. We have four Isa Brown
chooks who supply us, together with our family and friends, with free-range eggs
and the chooks certainly enjoy the freedom of our back garden.
Elegant Geese
We recently acquired a pair of 2-year-old Chinese Brown Geese, which are
settling in well. Honky-tonk can be seen on the right with Lucy in the
foreground. They are enjoying the company of the chooks, preferring to sleep in
the "fox-proof" chook-house, despite our best efforts to provide separate and
safe quarters within the larger chook-yard! It is a joy to see all fowl and
domestic pets wandering freely whilst living together in harmony.
