I actually got to take care of a male and female in Florida. I have to admit, the first time I stood in front of the male face to face, it was all I could do to remain standing. The female loved apples. I was able to stick her meds inside an apple slice. I'm devious when it comes to an animal's well being. I really recommend trying to visit that place. Recently I talked with another person from Africa that was helping me with my smart phone. He said he'd never seen a wild ostrich and yet I've been so blessed to have played with them in the US. Thank God for the people that are helping wild animals. I really don't believe in taking a pet from the wild but...loss of habitat doesn't give them a fighting chance. Ok I'll stop preaching.
Good coffee is the best medicine.
That was it. Kudu! But not converted into biltong
Pigeon is fairly common as game meat here. Probably not widely eaten, but available alongside venison, partridge and pheasant.
I did watch it as I like both of those actors.. but I do t remember the ostriches... guess that means I can watch it again now
last night me and the kids watched Bed Time Stories with Adam Sandler for the 100th time... I can’t get enough of Bugsy!!!
LMFAO!! Too true!!!
yuck.. I don’t believe I want to try that.. I never could make myself like duck and doves are pretty iffy.. and they are common here. I don’t like the dark meat off of chicken or turkey either

Linda, I really hope you feel much better quick. Lingering colds scare me!

I love the dark meat of chicken. It is the most moist part.yuck.. I don’t believe I want to try that.. I never could make myself like duck and doves are pretty iffy.. and they are common here. I don’t like the dark meat off of chicken or turkey either

I forgot about duck, goose and rabbit. They’re common game meats too. The best goose I had was a wild Canada goose. We saw it fly into power lines which killed it and it had a ring which the bird ringing group I was involved in had ringed. The ring identified the bird as only about 6 months old so we knew it wouldn’t be tough. Our local butcher plucked and gutted it for us.
I had an emu for a few years. The owner of the emu farm next door to my best friend had this adult male that wasn't a good breeder and they gave it to me for free. He lived here where my leopard tortoises are living now, for about 4 years before he died, I guess of old age, because he wasn't sick. He was quite the character. He was VERY interested in shiny things, so when little kids came over we had to always be with them or he would peck their eyes.
Yes, he's the same guy I went over and picked up some wood from a couple weeks ago. I told him I'd come back and get the rest at a later date, but I guess he wanted it out of there sooner rather than later. He brought it a little bit ago. Makes a nice big pile for me to have to stack! I slipped a few bucks into the pocket of his sweatshirt to compensate for his gas and muscle power.And it’s not the first time he offers you firewood, is it? It’s good to be so poplar
There are two rows of stacked firewood along the fence in the left side of the picture. The outside row is what I picked up from him a couple weeks ago. I think I'm covered for this winter! I still have some scrap lumber to take my chain saw to, but that'll keep for another day.
Nothing wrong with preaching sometimes. [emoji6]
Normally I would say yes. But for me it is not good. Although I absolutely love coffee. But it must be decaf for me.
Lol. That would be a problem. The children's eyes that is.
That is a lot of wood and it was very nice of him.
Yea emus are nuts. Ostriches like shiny too...but their beak is more like a rubber duckie. .. and both are a big bird. I think all of them thought I was just a child. Maybe my bleached blonde hair helped. Who knows. Animals will be animals.
Probably me also for blood pressure. I just haven't found a brand that I like. I need fresh brewed coffee in the morning. I really wouldn't miss the caffeine. That means I could drink more...thanks CarolM
