"Angostura" turned up this morning........An early morning phone call and a plea to take a somewhat "mental" female Guinea fowl started the day off in its usual multi job way.
Apparently she has been a somewhat forthright and bitter little bird that has always been in the company of hens rather than her own kind, so my small flock of guinea offered her owner a potential way out for re homing.
Lets hope she can learn to roost pretty quickly! White guineas on the ground are like a smorgasbord to a fox.
postscript:
Angostrura ( Ang for short) is safe for the night.... she walked right past Alf, Hughie and Ivy when they lined up to roost in the now stripped Graveyard Elm....and smartly joined Stanley and the old hens in their hen house at the bottom of the field
I just wanted to add my thanks to that of my sister for the lovely selection of raffle prizes Linda over at ManchesterLass sent to Janet in order to raise money for Motor Neurone Research. It was a kindness that has touched us all very much indeed, especially given the fact that she took the trouble ( and at considerable cost) to package her prizes all the way from Australia.
It was a lovely gesture
Thank you x
Off to the cinema now.... need a movie fix
I hope she stays safe. xxxx
ReplyDeleteWe have a load of them wandering round here and they make loads of noise, especially when disturbed.
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty!
ReplyDeleteOur guineas are our early warning device! A hawk flies over and they sound the alarm and all the chickens run for cover!We have never eaten one of ours but everyone tells me they are delicious...
ReplyDeleteYou are just a softie! May 94 live well.
ReplyDeleteToo early in the morning to even try to pronounce her name. Well, she will learn about being a guinea.... or she won't. Good Luck with her!
ReplyDeleteI hope she adjusts quickly.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you obviously have a 'reputation' in town! I'm sure she'll 'turn around' for you.
ReplyDeleteJim
This settles it. I'm convinced that you ARE the St. Francis of Trelawnyd...and possibly ALL of Wales!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'll love her new home.
