These one-week old baby Pea Fowl came to visit us for the first time today

Saturday, May 30, 2015

Hey kids, look, a water bowl!

It's so fun to watch the mom and four baby raccoons snacking.  Last night we saw them all come down a tree at sunset, and then go have a snack together in the dark.  They didn't mind eating while the dolphins were in the pool :)


Three of the four baby raccoons, having breakfast

NOM

Sauntering around

Mmmm more bread

At first only mom loved bread, but now the baby raccoons love bread too!

"Hey guys, don't leave me!"

Rascal the raccoon came for a visit, he liked corn, NOM NOM

Outside our kitchen window, scratching birds, and check out that big tail, he's the winner from a recent power struggle between the two most mature males.

Finally the poor little duck gets some corn.
Watch the ducks kiss at the end of the video :)

The ducks are really getting frustrated now

The ducks are still trying to get a bite to eat but the P-fowl are not done yet

The ducks are patiently waiting their turn at the food buffet but the Peafowl are hogging the nom

More of Big Tail and one from his harem :-)

Meet "Big Tail", one of two mature Pea Cocks that come and play in our park

No you're not in India, these are free range Peafowl living free in Florida. One of their loud calls sounds like "ye haaaaa" wth pitch rising toward the end.

Rascal hears Mary approaching

Meet "Rascal" the raccoon, our newest resident
Well as it turns out, this little lizard is a male, after watching him climb on the glass I helped him get back outside to run and be free (right after he ate a couple of big juicy meal worms)

Awwww she moved from bathroom to kitchen window

Wednesday, May 6, 2015

My new indoor pet lizard, hanging out at the bath tub drain, I give her water and dried meal worms to supplement what she catches
(we never use the bath tub anyway).
