id it he was so excited about it it was fun we were at a preschool and one of the little boys was very afraid of the animals at first and didn t want to stay by the time we left he had pet all of them early on i remembered the young man who sang out i did it and suggested that this little boy say it too and he did with a big grin that was a successful visit gabriel we have gabriel a shetland wether a male that has been neutered and he has had multi denominational experiences he has gone to one christian church to give people an idea of what a lamb might look like that would be slaughtered as a pascal lamb he stood out in the foyer and allowed people to pet his regal body and he went up on stage and stood regally after he marked his area with a few droppings gabriel also showed up at a jewish family s home as the pascal offering as a practical joke we d been promised that he would remain unscathed which we already knew since in both cases he was not unblemished after we made that visit the family walked us down to the rabbi s home where we surprised his family we had a group at the farm and during the hayride we got stuck everyone had to get out of the hay wagon while david got the tractor out luckily he was in his office and ran out to help all the moms and the kids were very good sports they waited patiently and then reloaded when david was ready we are thankful for visitors and people we visit that go with the flow the front duck is a runner duck we went to the birthday party of a 2 year old we d been told that he was an animal lover and it was no exaggeration he sat and petted animal after animal for over an hour his birthday gift a couple of ducks he made frequent visits to a neighbor s where he had fallen for the runner ducks the neighbor had another 2 year old wasn t very interested in the animals at his party but one of the other little boys was ready to go with us and an even younger girl pet every animal much to the surprise of her mother we were at an event where there were chairs set up for the children with the plan for the adults to sit back at tables behind the organizer was shocked when adults sat in the first row and once we went to an assisted living place the plan was for there to be three groups that would come out so it wouldn t be crowded and everyone would have an opportunity to meet and pet the animals we were asked to set up in a patio area to our surprise and the surprise of the organizer everyone came out at once it was very crowded but the people were so excited and very patient as we made our way around walkers and wheelchairs and people with canes in spite of the crowd it was fun it just goes to show that people are never too young or too old to get involved with our animals posted by gee funny farm at 8 05 pm 1 comment labels about gee funny farm event gee funny farm travel memorable visits reflections tuesday november 10 2015 what do you do with a kangaroo er wallaby some people keep dogs some people keep cats some people keep rabbits we ve got a wallaby and then some but let s just focus on the wallaby here we ve done the wallaby thing before so you d think as we did that we were not novices when we picked up tabitha in the spring of this year we had clancy for over 13 years so we thought we had some experience and we were right we did have some experience after all we kept clancy close by and we bottle fed him however clancy never did bond in the same way as tabitha has we can t say exactly why it may have been because he was older or perhaps because he had a different personality or because we didn t know what we have learned this time it also may have been because we got clancy in january so he was ready to move outside in may or june of that year when all is said and done this time around we re going to have a wallaby under foot for just about an entire year clancy checking out his new shed clancy at about 14 years old when you live in a house with a pet wallaby you re bound to get inquiries from the slightly envious or the mildly disgusted or the intensely curious i know you re bound to because we do so here s the lay of the funny farm household as run ahem influenced by a baby wallaby 9 month old tabitha trying to find an itch where do you even get a wallaby we got clancy from one place but this time we decided to try a different breeder so we got tabitha from fall city wallaby ranch outside seattle i was lucky enough to be able to stay for several days when i went out to pick her up rex the breeder really loves his wallabies and kangaroos and spends quality time with them and their offspring he was well acquainted with tabitha since he had been bottle feeding her for almost a month before i got there he hadn t intended to pull her meaning remove her from her mother until i arrived but her mother became ill so rex had to pull her earlier than he wanted even though i couldn t be there yet he really tried to talk me into a different joey because tabitha was very small but i loved her immediately and i guess he decided that i d be okay because he let me bring her home looking out the window to the wallaby kangaroo and wallaroo enclosures at fall city wallaby ranch if you are ever in seattle take the tour rex holding tabitha 8 months old tabitha and rex interacting what do you feed a pet wallaby we buy her milk formula from wombaroo because it s specially formulated for wallabies and kangaroos i started off having to feed her every four hours two of those feeding times meant i had to get up in the middle of my night to feed her and stimulate her to urinate in the playpen litter box this was good news since she has bonded well but the bad news i need a lot of sleep and i felt like a new mom we were glad when we could cut one of the feeding times and instead feed her immediately before i went to bed and the moment i got up now that she is fifteen months old tabitha also eats grass hay getting her ready for when there is no grass and a special dry feed made for wallabies and kangaroos called l il hopper eventually she will graduate to happy hopper same company but made for older wallabies and kangaroos 9 month old tabitha taking a bottle 10 month old tabitha out in the grass and weeds 11 month old tabitha taking a bottle is she litter box trained this is the 1 question that i am asked simple answer sort of she is pretty good about urinating in her playpen on doggie pads the side of the pen has been cut open so she can get in and out easily most of the time her scat feces is small and firm and can be swept up because she drops fecal matter everywhere though mostly on tile floors and doggie pads we have now put down in her favorite places yes she has bowel movements when she is in her pouch usually it is easily removed dumping the scat out over the garbage can or outside once in a while the scat can be looser and messier and harder to clean up from the pouch or wherever sometimes she decides to urinate on the tile or the plastic and sometimes her bowels are loose do you recognize the problem here it is called a tail even though she doesn t step in it her tail drags through it so we sometimes get trails of well whatever occasionally like when we leave her home alone tabitha has been known to leave scat and urine on our bed so every morning i cover the bed with a plastic drop cloth and throw a couple of dog pads up there does she jump all over the house well speaking of the bed it is high even for a bed about 3 feet off the floor because it has drawers underneath and tabitha can jump up on it from a sitting position on the floor this means that she can jump on furniture tables chairs counters etc so far she has limited herself to the bed the hearth and one of the bathroom counters we may have encouraged these limitations by making sure every door is closed along the hallway and we have gates up to keep her out of the living room and basement tabitha on our 3 foot high bed the hearth a bathroom counter what s it like living with a wallaby what about other aspects of a wallaby as miniature roomie well for one thing she chews on things such as my good sneaker laces david s biking gloves and the straps of her pouches she has also stripped wallpaper off the wall and chewed on the carpet on the bright side i guess i might finally learn to put things away i wanted the wallpaper off the wall and we needed new carpet before tabitha my poor shoelace our poor carpeting and our wallpaper even the toilet paper is not safe one of the fun things about tabitha being in the house tabitha waiting at the door for me for another thing she doesn t seem to share her space so well she hisses at our border collie amos her hiss is soft and quiet and isn t all that intimidating unless you re an ant however he is a passive dog and tries to stay away from her she will follow him around and once in a while he finally growls soon we will see how she does with our mini pig neum he comes inside at night but goes directly to his crate so there hasn t been much interaction however with colder weather coming he will be inside a lot more i may have another post when we see how that relationship shakes out then again there are many great things about having tabitha in the house there is still a lot of bonding time she now comes and demands a bottle when she wants it and she often drinks a little and comes more often during the day this is probably more what would happen if she was in the wild i know that my goat kids sip a bit from the doe and play and sip a bit and go etc they never stand and drink like the ones i ve bottle fed have been expected to i still get to cuddle her when she is in one of her pouches she isn t crazy about being held without a pouch but she is very cuddly when she is in one she still wants attention and we d miss that if she was outside when we take her out and let her do her own thing she likes it but she wants me where she can keep an eye on me that s really okay of course because at fifteen months old she would still be hanging out with her mom if she were in the wild still even with all the nice things about having a wallaby close at hand we will all be happy when spring comes and tabitha moves into clancy s old digs because when it comes down to it a human house isn t really designed for even the cutest sweetest little macropod wallaby development for the first 13 months posted by gee funny farm at 8 58 pm no comments labels animal babies animal experience gee funny farm learn about animals pets wallaby monday november 10 2014 talking turkey cuz turkey day is coming with thanksgiving just around the corner it seems appropriate to talk turkey here are some things you might not know about the turkey 1 with about 600 million turkeys in the world national geographic may 2011 about 90 of americans eat turkey at thanksgiving and 50 consume turkey at christmas www home aristotle net thanksgiving trivia submit asp 2012 a white broadbreasted and a spanish black heritage turkey the same age 2 turkeys are the only breed of poultry native to the western hemisphere with the first turkeys being domesticated in mexico and south america www infoplease com spot tgturkeyfacts html 2012 and there is evidence that they have been around for over 10 million years www baltimoremd com content turkey1 html 2012 turkeys are curious birds and investigate everything and we haven t had one drown in the plastic goose duck pond though my cousin said that she had one that drowned in a trough it got in and couldn t get out 3 contrary to popular belief and in spite of the musical that i really like 1776 benjamin franklin did not go head to head with others in favor of the turkey being the national bird the legend seems to have originated with a letter to his daughter about six months after the national coat of arms was accepted with the bald eagle as the national bird his letter mainly referenced his feelings about a military fraternity and after finding fault with the society s motives and its concept he writes others object to the bald eagle as looking too much like a dindon or turkey for my own part i wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country his a bird of bad moral character besides his a rank coward the little king bird not bigger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district his therefore by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest cincinnati of america who have driven all the king birds from our country tho exactly fit for that order of knights which the french call chevaliers d industrie i am on this account not displeas d that the figure is not known as a bald eagle but looks more like a turkey for in truth the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bid and withal a true original native of america he is besides tho a little vain and silly a bird of courage and would not hesitate to attack a genadier of the british guards who should presume to invade his farm yard with a red coat on so while benjamin franklin may not have been that happy with the choice of the bald eagle he never actively promoted the turkey www americanheraldry org pages index php n mmm turkey action print the things we learn in history class i left the dog kennel open and came home to roosting turkeys when they saw me they came to greet me who wouldn t like that 4 several sources claim that unlike wild turkeys domesticated turkeys can t fly it is clear that they haven t been to gee funny farm where our turkeys fly short distances on a regular basis while we have mostly heritage turkeys that are much more similar to wild turkeys in build and functioning ability we happen to have a broad breasted turkey who flies over our six foot fences on a regular basis which surprised even us since that has not been our experience before several of my heritage turkeys at a young age roosting on our 6 foot kennel fence yep they flew up there 5 and finally there is the claim that domesticated turkeys are so dumb that they will look up at falling rain and end up drowning snopes says it ain t so and we certainly haven t had that experience you can go to snopes to find out what they believe caused the myth my favorite turkey sariah coming to visit at the front door sariah at the back door how can i not love this bird who seeks me out while we have heard from people that turkeys are dumb ours come when called and know where to find food and water including from the dishes of the other animals on the other side of the fence and while we may be among the americans enjoying turkey at one of our holiday meals we really love and appreciate our birds we are glad that they enjoy a life of leisure and fun as they wander where they will every day and that they have a secure place to go at night from which they can and do escape if i m not on hand when they feel it is time to get going in the morning they fly through the opening between fence and roof i really like turkeys and not just eating them posted...
