Bea and Georgie, particularly Georgie are getting really naughty. They think they can summons me by making such a noise AND outside the conservatory doors where I always go out to them! Little monsters! They think they get a treat each time I go outside, which is not strictly true I might add.
Just now there was this awful racket going on, WARK, WARK, WARK, WARK outside, I opened the window of the budgie room and looked out to see the girls outside the conservatory making this din. I told them to 'Stop making all that noise!!' and they have. They have now gone off down the garden. Birdy owner (1) chickens (0)
I wonder how long this will work???

Oh yes, chickens can be noisy, there are a few people here who have smallholdings and 'free range' chickens where we get our eggs from (through the pet shop!) and yes....we hear a lot of clucking and various chick type noises at times when out and about. Mind it beats cockerels, grief but they can be loud! |

I was told a number of years ago that if a cockerel is unable to raise his head then he cannot crow. Meaning if the cockerel is kept in the coop until after dawn he will not be able to crow. I don't know if it is true mind you.  |

I didn't know they kept cockerels in the co-op oops sorry coop  Mind, like most male (birds) they have to strut their stuff don't they and that would be difficult with head down. |
