We have had a great fall! The boys have loved going out and "helping" James rake up leaves. It has been a beautiful fall. About a month ago we noticed this strange bird roaming around our neighborhood.
She has a mutual fear of the boys. They are fascinated with her, but keep their distance. She roams the neighborhood, but keeps mostly to our yard and our neighbor's yard. She has stopped traffic crossing the street. As it has gotten colder and no one has come to claim her we started to get worried about her. The kids even started praying for her in their prayers. I called Tracy Aviary, Wild life Services, etc... She is not a protected species, our little Peahen. They told me to call Animal Control if she is a bother....I know what that will mean. So we have claimed her and feed her. The kids call her Snowflake and look forward to finding her each morning sunning herself on our garbage cans, kitchen bay window ledge, or backyard fence. (I am always relieved to find her alive every morning and not lying dead on our driveway. How do I explain that to the kids?)
I will take any advice you can give me, but until then....ain't she a beauty???
