I think it looks like a Sharp Shinned hawk. I get them here sometimes.

My Serama hens make cute kind of "talking" sounds when I pick them up. Some of my bigger hens cackle when they lay an egg, some don't. I have heard my roosters growl.

Happy New Year everyone! Today there is sun, but it is really windy and the wind chill is -41. We have had wind chills between -40 and -51 since before Christmas. It sucks.

I think a lot of people get cats or dogs from shelters or people who are giving them away and then put them up for sale on the internet. Kijiji in the Regina area still has a ton of people breeding miscellaneous dogs and advertising puppies for outrageous prices. I find it hard to believe that all t...

Autopsy results are back. His heart attack was not caused by Astra Zeneca. He had 3 arteries that should have been bypassed, so they think that caused a fatal heart attack.
