Why is it that we keep changing our minds about what we want to be on this website? Last week, I wanted to be a mom to a wombat. Now I want to be a penguin mom.
I was sitting here watching the video and whining, “*I* want to have that job, to feed fishies to baby penguins!” Honestly, it’s just not fair! Whine whine whine!
I want to be mom to them all, Duckie. But especially a wombat.
I believe those are stock baby ostriches, not the ones actually running loose in Scotland. They’re still adorable, though.
I think you’re right, but I couldn’t find any other pictures associated with the story, a problem I suspect The Guardian had as well.
I wondered, since they’re asking people to report where they are, “Who took the pic?”
BTW, the words “ostrich” and “Scotland” just do not go together in my brain!?
I call Matchingks on the dog and cat!
Nice Gilbert & Sullivan hovertext on the ostriches, too.
Wud’I miss?! Wud’ I miss??! Out of town and for a couple of days and it was glorious and I stubbornly refused to check the interwebs… I almost missed the ‘Mikado’ reference which then, well of course, led me down that slippery slope of Frasier episodes so here I am. And no link for Frasier ‘three little maids’ as evidently, ‘they’ have that tighter, more locked up than the locals who apparently have ‘not lost this ostrich family’.
“as no one in the local area appeared to have lost an ostrich.”
Sorry, but ?
?
It’s a line from the linked article and it just struck me as hilarious.
OK, I couldn’t decipher the emoticon (or is it emoji?) so I didn’t know what you were “sorry” about.
Ah. It’s the laughing face from my tablet’s emoji menu.
I know, wasn’t that good???!
Maybe puppy thought she was looking in a mirror?
Kitten and puppy are both babies so they don’t know yet they are not supposed to like each others and now they never will.
I wish we could do that with people.
Amen, Gigi. If only. These days, every time I turn on the news on TV, hostility and even hatred are like a big black cloud on so many people.
I went to the Tube to copy Rogers and Hammerstein’s song “You’ve Got To be Carefully Taught” and insert it here, but found this AMAZING version instead. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EJQoiPCedj4
Don’t remember how to embed, sorry.
Here you go 6RABBITS
Thank you, Gigi!!!?
I love this song – it was a big deal when the show South Pacific came out – musicals weren’t supposed to deal with issues. Showboat was years before and it had the famous “mysogynist” scene – but there wasn’t much in between that dealt with racial issues in particular.
I call matchingks on puppy and kitten. They are so adorable together.
Too much cute to handle!
I wanna see the bunny they pick out – will it, too, match??
Yep, and the next week they’ll all go back together and adopt a hammie with the same colors.
Arrrright!!!
It’s the real-life “The Farmer in the Dell”! ?????
If we’re decreasing in size, it should be a Guinea pig next, THEN a hamster. Though finding a Piggie to match might be more difficult!
I really, REALLY love that this family let the dog pick his buddy! This will warm my heart for days!?
6Rabbits, what is the pink blobby thing before the hammy?
It’s a pig schnozzola, head on. No pig attached.
It’s a pig nose! There are THREE pig emojis but no Guinea pigs, so I used the nose to stand for GP.
By the way, if you have time to check out the full article, there are oodles more adorable photos of these two together at home.
There’s a farm in the next town over that raises emus. I used to drive past it on my way to my former workplace. The babies are adorable. Now wondering if they’ve ever escaped…
I wouldn’t mind seeing them! ?
They also have cows. Or bulls. I don’t know. Hard to tell when you’re driving past at 50 mph. There’s only one or two and hey’re usually lying around on the grass.
That is so darned cute I can’t stand it. Looks a bit like a puppet and I want one.
There’s a park near where I work that has an animal enclosure. The larger enclosure has deer and geese and ducks who can roam all over, and then there are smaller enclosures within that each containing other animals – several different birds, including a pair of turkeys, a pair of peacocks, quail, and a few kinds of chicken (and if you’ve never seen baby Silkie chickens running around you really need to find some; holy moly they’re adorable), a few rabbit hutches, goats, potbelly pigs, and an emu. He’s all by himself, though; I always wonder if he’s lonely.
Awww, that’s sad, poor li’l guy/gal. I’d like to skritch that sweet head – only if it were something s/he’d like.
Are they both peacocks or is one a peahen?
Yes, one is a hen..
The bebeh ostriches look like “Hey Mister, you OK? What are you doing down there? Should we call an ambulance?”
Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh! Overwhelmed, breathless. I die.
