Pardon our pause from posting for a while. We’ve been laying low through the winter season.
Today, Belvedere reminded us why we are here. He’s the oldest rescue here. He’s a big guy but he has soulful eyes and a gentle soul. He tried to give me a treat like I was one of his girls so when I collected it I thanked him and carried on with chores. He has not let us put any hens or roosters in with him, except a few years back he bunked with Bill, who has since crossed the rainbow bridge. He’s been alone ever since, just like his origin story of his first farm where he was left in the trees to fend for himself as a lone stranger. Belvedere has landed here with us to let him know that we can honor his wishes to be left alone from others in the avian world but that he still has friends in us.
