A really interesting part of this video is the goats finding my items in the dry creek bed. My hat and a leash had been left behind on our way up the canyon. On the way back down, they either smelled or saw them - they definitely found them!
That’s what we were hoping! I have plans to make a sturdy wood ramp with cinder block caps glued to it. That should help a little, too. t Thanks for watching and commenting. ☺️
Yes! We have talked about it… so many toys and no place to fly! Actually, I have made an effort to put all those toys in the front part of the aviary for exactly this reason. The footprint is 5’ wide x 4’ deep and they do have a good 2’ of that 4’ depth (x 6’ tall) as open space for flight. (Where I’m standing.) I have arranged food, water, shelter and sunning areas so encourage flight. I have arranged food stations, water dishes and baths, shelter areas and sunny spots to encourage flight, including on the floor. It makes me happy that they use the whole space, top to bottom. Thank you for bringing up an important topic!
@@manuelapenela1924 awesome and thank you for your time and effort you give these little treasures. Your sharing fills up the empty space of missing my little treasures.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wonderful video. God bless your nurturing soul and filming expertise. You have talent. I love their new toy swing to jump on. You did a brilliant job.
It has been so cold I didn’t want to announce their arrival prematurely. 😌 But even though the big birdbaths in the yard were all frozen today, none of the four small ones in the finch aviary were. 👍🏽 I love hearing the babies beg real loud and strong for food. At about 3:00, back in the nest, they’re going nuts!
I decided on two goats because they will fit in a large crate in the back of my car. 😄 I’m thinking keeping three might be better for social dynamics, though. If one is a bully, the heat is spread out between the two others rather than focused on the only other goat present. But I do think three leashes would be more trouble than it’s worth! Ha! I think your goat walks with be wonderful if you are out away from people. They will likely just follow along with you. If you are nervous about it, you may want to keep the leader goat on leash. The other two won’t go too far away from the boss goat.
Sorry about all the extraneous noises caused by me handling the iPhone. It’s not exactly high tech photography. But my goal is to share video of the birds with my friend, their co-parent 😀, and this serves that purpose. I’m happy that other people are enjoying the zebra finch videos as well.
Aren’t the finches pretty? The one with the pied head is the offspring of the original two so we have some pied genes running around. The goats aren’t used to me being in that yard and not paying attention to them. I was asking them to not cry cuz they were making me sad!
We're over week away from adopting our first portuguese Podengo. I guess being rabbit hunters they require long daily walks? Love the Portuguese collar. Wonder where aunt Katie got it from. Great video, lovely babies🐾
I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment before. It was a long time ago! I hope you got your Podengo and are loving him/her! 🐕 Aunt Katie found someone on line who made the collars but I don’t know who it was.
