Meg will stare at sheep, goats, guineas, chickens, tv, for hours at a time. She was just laying there in her glory staring at all the livestock for hours and Seth decided to use her as a buffer for his game. It's called "hold the birdies"
Meg didn't care as long as she could just lay there and play the game without having to move. At one point he was pushing them right into her but she was so intent on watching the chickens IN the pen she didn't even notice all the birds bumping into her.
I've taught Seth that putting the guineas away, or getting them unstuck from behind a fence, can be done by just continuing to push them around until they've had enough pressure on them and they'll fly over the fence. Seth loves this job and I guess after having fun at the TN Hold Em game he decided it was time for them to go home.
You'll note that even though this bird took off right over her she still doesn't bother to get up.
Just one more and my job is done!
And then there is my house protector. Some people buy those plastic owls decoys to put on their houses. I prefer the more natural means.
This is Phoebe the Pea Hen
