The two photos I put up in yesterday’s post had absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote and I only added them because, having been on the phone for nearly two hours, trying to get the internet back from its little holiday, I could! So here is my attempt to interpret what those two photos (and a few others) actually mean.
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Prince – white peacock
Martha and Mary – the two white chooks
Whoopie – the new chook with the fancy hairdo
Prince: What the hell?
Mary to Martha: Quick! Hide! There’s a huge creature on the other side of the fence!
Martha to Mary: I think it’s okay. He just did this little purry thing in his throat. Anyway, we’re safe in this yard.
Mary: A purry thing! Martha, do you not realise that he is probably flirting with us?
Martha: Yeah, but you have to admit he is kind of cute.
Mary: Cut your beak off, Martha!
Prince: I’m not sure whether these strange, short, ugly things are my cup of tea after all.
Mary: See, Martha, not only does he talk to himself, he’s insulting. Ignore him!
Prince: Okay, so I’m not that good at introductions, but to be rejected so soon by these two whatever-they-ares is very disturbing.
Prince: Indifference hurts.
Whoopie: Is the coast clear yet?
Note 1: Whoopie was given to me by a friend who breeds beautiful poultry – thanks so much, Jane!
Note 2: When I first began writing this blog, Anthony was still at home, but ailing. We started to accumulate guinnea fowl and chooks because Ants remembered having these as a young boy/teenager and I wanted to cheer us all up. But then I got a teensy bit carried away with the whole bird thing (as past blog posts reveal ha!) It’s good, now, to begin again with just a few chooks…. even though this bewilders the peacocks!

Loving seeing the birds – looks like Prince was mooning 😉
I love like you do to put pictures with captions sometimes with our pets… The last picture is a bit confusing. I’m trying to figure out ‘is the black and white the back of Whoopie’s head? Diane
Don’t you just love when the story unfolds with the photos? Great to see you back in the feathers Jules…and what beautiful feathers they are…xoxo
I love your interpretation of what was going on here!
Always enjoy looking at your barn yard!!
Glad to see the flock thriving.
This post lifted my spirits
Julie, so glad to see that you are back in the chook business, and what lovely chooks they are too! Especially Whoopie. 😉 I miss my Buff Polish, topknot chickens.
Lots of fun these bird have! And they are beautiful too!
I love potential soap opera setting in Fowl Land lol
I love the potential soap opera setting in Fowl Land lol Hugs Jules xx
Ha! I wish I could do that.
Ha! When I saw Prince showing his tail feathers to Martha and Mary, I thought it was him saying “Talk to the fan!” The peacock version of “Talk to the hand.” Or is/was that just an american expresssion?
