Hopefully, if my computer skills don't fail me, you will be able to watch four whole videos in this post of our very first attempt at goat herding! The three are in order from moving them out of the temporary pen we placed them in when we first brought them home to their new pen at the top of our property (about a five minute walk). They were sharing the Avian Paradise, but I dare say the ducks weren't too keen on this domestic situation. Every single time they ventured out of their cage to practice their flying skills (which i fear the fat one will never perfect), within seconds all three goats would rush in to eat the duck food. The ducks would quickly pit-pat back in after them, but though they put up a damn good fight for a couple of birds, the goats proved stronger...and faster eaters, to the ducks great chagrin. So, much like humans would, they sought their revenge. The second day the goats were munching on their food, they snuck away to the goats' side of the pen and preceeded to wolf down as much of the goat food that they could manage. I am not joking. This is how both species decided to maintain their shared living conditions. So as the human who created this blissful relationship, it was clear to me that Avian Paradise could not make an exception for goats. Ahh, how similar we all are (as much as humanity tries to deny it).
