Well, what an anti-climax my home-coming was this afternoon! I went straight to the bird yards to let the gang out thinking that they would greet me with expressions of relief and joy but, once I’d given them some lettuce, they lost interest in me and, within a minute of our reunion, they were off doing their usual thing – grazing, bathing, preening, cruising.
Both the ‘Bubbles’ were indifferent, the big Bubble particularly so. After they got their share of the lettuce, they just sauntered away. Baby Turkey didn’t even acknowledge me.
And the geese were even more indifferent to my renewed presence.
Even the peacocks had a definite air of ‘so what!’ about them when they saw me.
I feel a little indignant at their nonchalance; Godfrey didn’t even try to bite me and I’d been looking forward to our usual afternoon wrestling match.
What a bunch of bird brains!



How shallow … how’s the boy?
He turned a bit of a corner this morning but because he’s so immobile he reckons time is standing still – I just rang and he’s asleep thank goodness!
Hi,
How disappointing that is, how dare they treat you that way, that is very rude indeed. 😀
Great photos. 🙂
Oh well, at least I know they don’t necessarily need me!
Out of sight, out of mind!
That’s for sure!
Oh Godfrey!
Sorry about the cold shoulder(s) but glad they are all safe and sound. Especially glad your son is able to rest! How soon till he can get up?

PS: Read the blog about the scoliosis surgery. Didn’t EVER realize that the metal brace was forever. I was thinking it was temporary until he straightened out. Sigh…
Yeah, the titanium rods and screws + bone from bone bank all inside him now – very weird but all good now, fingers crossed! Thanks for your thoughts.
My cat always snubbed me when I came home from a trip. Maybe they’re putting you in your place.
Aha! I think you are right.
