    She would be classified as a working animal because in a couple months she will serve her purpose

    Oh right. Was just wondering, presumably you have other, unnamed, goats too, it would be weird to have four pet goats and one non-pet goat. :)


    For the record I have one cat: Izzy :cool:

    Whoooooooooooooooh! (meant to be a spooky ghost noise) :eek:

    I didn't actually name her after you, nor did I actually name her at all, she was named after the Grey's Anatomy character (its a TV show Chlidonias). :D

    A Senegal Parrot called Winslet (purchased from a pet shop where the person who dealt with the livestock was called Kate) and Myfanwy a Double Yellow-headed Amazon (see my avatar!), hand-reared by a member of this site. I have kept several other species of psittacine in the house and used to have aviaries for finches, softbills and more psittacines.
