Meet Guido.
(Guido Corleone)
Guido came to Bee Haven by way of Sicily.
He's the "Boss".....head of "the family."
(In other words, he is the farm mafia Godfather!)
He and his two brothers spend their days running all over the farm...
dominating the chickens and the turkeys.
They've been overheard saying...
"You want protection? We can give you protection.
But protection ain't free. You gonna have to pay for it."
"You don't wanna pay for protection? Then you gonna pay
some other way. We know where you live."
When their not shaking down the other birds,
they spend their day patrolling their territory.
God forbid a stranger sets foot in their turf...
they send out an alarm that would scare anyone away.
I've come to the conclusion that what guineas lack in brains,
they make up for in brawn.
If you've ever had guineas, you know exactly what I mean!
You won't catch Rod getting in their way.
No sir, Rod keeps his girls safe and sound at the barn.
White faced black Spanish and silver duck wing phoenix hens...
a couple more of Rod's gals.
Our crazy birds are a constant source of entertainment.
And after reading this post, you may well have decided that I spend
too much time alone... or maybe too much time with the birds!

They are something else!

You have the best farm family - thanks to your amazing writing skills (still thinking you have a book-in-the-making, here on your blog... I just may continue to bug you until you agree to publish your work...sorry...), we get to enjoy them, too!
Thank you!
