He isn't stupid. Maximum damage.<br /><br />Harry they are rather odd animals. As you know as soon as you scatter corn or feed all birds come running. Not this one. He expects you to put it in a bowl as close as you can get to him. No way, I left it on the floor and walked off! lol <br /><br />Nick he is nice to look at. But I hope when my cousin and his family go on holiday next year he is gone. He wasn't there when we Farm sat or when we did lambing. They are trying to rehome him, but he is bad tempered and you cant send him anywhere with smaller dogs. He takes great offence to small dogs.<br /><br />Ray he really is pretty, but it masks a lot of anger. I have never seen a bird like it. If my grandparents were still on the farm I dare say he would of "wandered off". I.e he got the chop. he is actually dangerous near the kids. The vet says he is old. So we will admire him for a while. He likes the sheep. I think it is because they huddle together and are warm. Sheep are stupid, they probably think he is a sheep.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-18064154381766130532014-10-22T07:50:26.482+01:002014-10-22T07:50:26.482+01:00There can't be many blues in the natural world...There can't be many blues in the natural world that are as 'royal' as that blue.

Since we live on a mountain top, in the middle of a forest, and have no neighbors. I never figured out where he came from. He walked around and ate the chicken feed for about a week, pooped on my jeep, and generally made himself a pain in the rear. Then one day he just left. Hope he found somewhere nice to live, though.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-25334934179120642722014-10-21T19:10:05.765+01:002014-10-21T19:10:05.765+01:00I can never understand why they like to stand on n...I can never understand why they like to stand on narrow railings and fences.

Apparently James Cagne..."You dirty rat". Apparently James Cagney never actually said that. Rats are one downside to living on a smallholding, Sol. We have a ratter (terrier) and cat (mouser) to keep them at bay. They are horrible. I would fight a lion before I would fight a rat.
