Maybe they did a rescue on the buffalo when they were young. Maybe
they just wanted to attract the attention of the neighborhood. ;-) Like you, I hope they now have room to roam and aren't still penned up.

Around the corner from where my mom used to live, there was a house that had 2 buffalo in the yard. No kidding. Big, furry necked buffalo just like the ones that roam wild. I would hear people talk about it and didn't believe it until I saw them for myself. I don't think they're there anymore. I would hope not. Just didn't seem right. I have no idea why these people had them. But it's true. I'll have to remember to go by and see if they are there. If they are, I'll take pictures! lol Rachel T. Damn right I'm good in bed. I can sleep for days. |

We "took in" a baby bird once, I think it was a blackbird. Well, it wasn't a
*baby* baby, it had all its feathers but was still chubby-baby-looking. Some friends dropped me off at home and mum met me in the car park and showed me the bird which she had just found (it obviously wasn't just waiting for mummy-bird to come back or mum wouldn't have picked it up). We kept it safe in my old hamster cage but (as we suspected) the shock was too much and it died during the night. |

Most baby-looking critters need to be left alone, actually. They've been
thrown out of the nest to be on their own. (Rachel's little bird was an obvious exception -- he had no feathers, etc.) There's a problem around here with people taking beached baby elephant seals and sea lions to the Marine Mammal Center (north of here). They should be left *alone*, as mother seals leave them on the beach so they can go catch food for them. People even bundle them up in sleeping bags to keep them warm, which can kill them (they live in the ice-cold sea!). Baby birds often are the same story, if they have their feathers but are still baby-fat. It's sink or swim in nature, and they don't necessarily need our "help". It can be more harmful than helpful. ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/links.htm One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~ A.

Grew up in Delta? What's your partner's name? I know a bunch of people
down there. Yeah, sometimes the buffalo there wander out onto the road, and stop traffic. They're hard to move, though our Queensland heeler can do it. They're bred for exactly that job.
