Sometimes we have pretty little visitors, like those rosellas, parakeets or phesants. Today some rosellas flew by and landed on the deck balustrade.

The vet found Daffy in his grandpa feeder for his chickens and Norbert got dropped of at the local vets. We thought we would take them home so they can be friends for our other rescue ducks.

The weather has not been too amazing over the last couple of weeks.

On Wednesday we got a new friend for the chicks. It is a duckling and is called Bludger. Bludger is a rescue as we got him of someone in the community.

Alpaca maintenance was on the cards this week – One of our winter tasks… ‘Pedicure’ for each animal, vitamin injection and drenching.

Found this Praying Mantis on our gumboot holder, eating a wasp and managed to get a nice close-up picture of her and her pray.

Today Ziggy went to the doctor to get her stitches removed. They have been so itchy for the past two weeks since her playing with traffic.

Ziggy the cat went missing Sunday night and returned Monday morning injured. After emergency surgery at Vets North Kumeu, she’s now recovering safely at home.

Jolan reading Ziggy a story. Poor Ziggy is almost disappearing between the cuddly toys.

We made use of the long weekend – yes, it’s Auckland Anniversary weekend – and did some farm maintenance.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Its been pretty wet all of yesterday and this morning the valley greets us with a bit of ponding water.

Silver with her bunch of cuties. She had 4 kittens, so extremely cute.
