He is! Some of our neighbors have some chickens in their back yard. They live at the end of the road and the back of their house faces a field. We live right on the ouskirts of town so they can get away with it, if their neighbors don't mind.
 
We don't have a rooster, but we have 10 hens. My son-in-law is a baker for CostCo and has to get up really early for work, so he will nap in the afternoon when he gets home. But it was decided early on that there would be no roosters. The grandkids have been attacked by ornery roosters so they don't want to have one around either.
 
My roosters are really pretty nice. But then again they are only naughty once.
I just won't tolerate them flying at us.

Last weekend I walked out to the garden and I could here the gulls. Usually they are either on the river bank or hanging out at the pond in the brush but they were on the ground all around the garden. There must have been 50 of them. I have no idea what they were doing there. They were just hanging out on the edges of the garden.?????

Miss Kya, most people are oblivious to the varieties that exist around us. My wife's stepdad got me started in feeding the birds back in 1977. It is really a thrill to see a new species come around.

Chickens I love all the ones I looked up(Several) we had a few of those at my Aunts house we loved them,My brother thought he was ROCKY and would let them loose when the Rocky song came on (am small radio*lol) and would chase them around her yard ,I would keep eye if she came home *lol
We had lots of fun with them.They loved spaghetti*LOL
Being real Italians they always served it *lol we use to save some in our napkin just so we can feed them *lol
I wil have to take a few hours to look up all these birds!Oh my Wombat I dont think I have ever heard of any other then Cockatoos and crows!*LOL
Maybe later I'l do that if I don't get distracted with something else.( the sun just popped out *lol) This thread sure keeps my interest indeed!but I need to run outside for now*lol

Kale:)
 
It is just amazing all of the different kinds of birds we have in our yards.
Wow Wombat what a cool list.
 
We have some pretty birds that live near us. I love to watch the cardinals, and the blue jays are fun to watch. I know we have several finches and some sparrows. I've seen an abundance of doves here.
the other day I was driving to the store and about a block away from our house I saw a buzzard. They are so ugly. I think he was eating road kill. yuck.
 
They certainly do that, Lyn. But it is a service to us that they help keep things cleaned up. You know though, it would make them a lot more welcome if they weren't so ugly. LOL
 
Dizzy why are you on crutches? I didn't know. Inquiring minds want to know.
 
When I was out in the backyard yesterday, I looked up and there was a red-tail hawk soaring up in the sky. :)
