Alp, we have all sorts of birds including hummingbirds in the gardens and around the pond, voles and field mice in the pasture, coyotes and fox in the pasture and barn lot, and deer along the fence lines where there is brush and tree cover.
I've posted some of the photos my husband has taken of wildlife here on the farm. We do so enjoy seeing the "critters". We are blessed with space and shelter and food for a variety of wildlife. I have to admit, I'm not too thrilled with the field mice, who seek a warm spot for the winter and think our house is ideal!

Ooops.. :eek::D Now, that's not so funny!

Can you blame them?? Rodents in houses can cause a lot of damage. Such lovely wildlife.. Thank you for sharing. I love that blue bird. What is it? Stunning and the hummingbird as well. So nice to see them on TV. Here, I was thrilled just to see a jay!

Oh they're so adorable. Sister in law had a red setter,lovely breed.
Yes, one of ours was from a litter of 13, one died soon after. They were smaller because of so many and he stayed smaller.

Yes they are. The breeder that we got our first 3 goldies from and Barley,would have had 2 litters going at the same time. Or a couple of weeks between them. She bred them for showing and would show them first and then work them. But Berry's breeder used them for just showing. They seem a different line altogether. Barley seems more natural in picking objects up,berry doesn't.

I am sure you can work magic with them and Berry can be trained by you yourself!
