Bunnies & Birds

As you can see I'm still trying to catch up on posts from last week's Fair Week!

This year I spent a little bit of time in the barns but wasn't able to get many photos.  I was able to form a friendship with at least 1 of the sheep but the barn I had the most fun in while I was there was in the Combo Barn with the Bunnies and "Poultry".  They used to call it the Chicken Barn but it has more than 'just chickens' in there now.  They have chickens, hens, roosters, swans, ducks, etc.

Between seeing these sweeties at the Fair and reading all of Opal's posts about her furbabies lately I have been considering adopting a Bunny.  I don't think this will be something that will happen right away, however.  First, I want to educate myself quite a bit as I have never had a Bunny before and want to be sure I know more before I jump into it.  I want to be a good "furmama" to them, of course.  I am learning a lot from Opal.  I always learn a lot from her.  She's a wonderful person and always willing to help fill my head with knowledge!  I also want it to the be 'right' situation for both the bunny AND our household.  I want to make sure we have nice living quarters for them before we adopt them...plus I don't want to run out and 'get' just 'any' bunny.  I would like to look for a rescue or adoption situation...one that NEEDS a home. 

As for these photos...the first one I couldn't resist taking the photo - they were babies!  And LOOK at their markings!  How glorious!  This next lil guy was so sweet, too!  I tried to snap the photo when he was looking at me because his eyes were so adorable paired with his droopy ears!  But he moved a bit too quick!  And this last one was SO HUGE!  But he was VERY friendly and quite calm, cool, and collected!

All of them were amazing but I only got to take a few photos of a couple of them!


Speaking of Friendly Creatures - I saw this one and couldn't help myself either!  I spent a good 5 to 10 minutes with this beauty. 

This one really liked to interact with the passerby's!  Vocal, but not TOO vocal and 'strolled' with me back and forth as I walked by.

The one sheep I mentioned at the beginning of this post was like that, too!
