Little chicken can be CUTE also.

And how preventing a cat to hunt ?

AGREED baby chickens are sweet

I have always had plenty of animals, cats, dogs, ducks, parrots, budgies and a few more, because they have grown up together the cats have never chased birds

A cat is not so stupid to attack a parrot with its terrible beak ! Even budgies can pinch hard.

Beautiful birds… but horrible voice and bad temper.
But some months ago I've read 'Alex & Me" and it made me thinking a lot about parrots' cleverness :

Years ago I had a Chattering Lory named Reggie

She used to try and train my dogs. They used to sit and do other things when so told them

Sometimes she would ride on one of the dogs

This is not my actual bird but exactly the same


She also used to chat to the ghost

I had a Cockatoo the same as this at the same time



ALL at the same time as I had 4 budgies, 2 ducks, 3 cats, 2 dogs, 3 tortoises, a garden full of hedgehogs and foxes, PLUS several cats that just followed me home

I had to keep the python and the pair of timber wolves at my friends home

Nearly forgot the bees and the butterflies that always moved in for the winter

I am delighted to report that the recent spate of killings has come to an end

The remaining baby ducks are happily splashing around on the pond - mum still refuses to risk taking them for a walk up to the lake - and there is no sign of any cats, they are all safely locked up until the little babies are safely on the lake

Our crime wave has come to an end

I am ashamed when I think of all the 'foie gras' I ate in my life

I am ashamed when I think of all the 'foie gras' I ate in my life

And so you should be



How could anyone fail to LOVE such a sweet fluffy bird

[Piling]

They are lovely AND tasty

They are lovely AND tasty

I hope they get you

Yeah, I am sure that I have a very bad karma, and all the murdered ducks will take their revenge in a next life.

Some people look at this and say cute some people look at this and say food

Had my central heating on all day today

So far we have only had one fine warm spring day, this time last year we had a heatwave and hosepipe ban

Ducks still safe - no cats anywhere

Winter is coming back. Yesterday it snowed on Lyon country.



mini-cakes : Aoste Ham, dried apricots & prunes.

Those cakes look absolutely delicious

I need some chocolate to cheer me up

Some people might have noticed that I never post any pics of my cooking, there is a VERY good reason for that, I cannot cook

I am very good at eating
