Feathered Friends from Rusty Raven Plant Ranch

Last Wednesday we went for our first greenhouse excursion. Not one of those big stores that import flowers and plants from factory gardens, but a real greenhouse. I like our local little greenhouse, it is called Rusty Raven Plant Ranch.

Along with the plants, being a ranch they have lots of critters. Some of these you can wander and look at. Pretty nice of them really, you see we do not live in a big city and we do not have a zoo full of animals to go and take pictures of.

My plant pictures did not come out very well during this trip but I did get some nice exotic bird pictures.

So first up a really big turkey. I picked his picture to be first because I have two that came out pretty nice and he will also be the last picture.

This little black duck saw me taking pictures of the turkey and well...he wanted to have his picture taken also.

This cute little guy has to be one of the most colorful ducks I have ever seen, I don't know what kind it is, but it is kind of cute looking. I could see having a few of them to eat all the bugs.

Peacocks, no doubt about it they are one beautiful bird, I however would not really want one in my yard, they are pretty noisy birds, Here he is checking out one of the ladies.

And as promised at the start, the second turkey picture. All nestled down just watching time pass by. I was hoping he would flash his tail feathers but he never did the whole time we were there.

Well that was our local greenhouse visit, part of it anyway. I do like being able to wander and take pictures after we have made our flower selection, it is a nice way to finish the visit off.
