Here is a chance for you to visit with just a few of the Critter Children that we
share with all that will come for a visit to our FREE Petting Zoo ...
We now have over 500 and all are fed, loved, and cared for daily by
hubby Andy, and myself...

We have .. Llama, Ostriches, Emu, Rhea, Peafowl, Swans, Pheasants, Doves,
Turkeys, Ducks, Chickens, Pigeons, Parrots, Finch's, Cockatiels, Goats, Ferret's,
Pot Belied Pigs, Geese, Rabbits, Quail,  and much more ...

We do not charge any admissions .. We allow the visitors to feed ice cream cones
with grain and / or special treats ( also free ) .. The children have a blast collecting
feathers or searching for eggs.. the Ducks seem to drop them anywhere at anytime ..

Here are a few photos ...  I do hope you will enjoy ...

These little Goats were just born early March of 2005 ..
we are bottle feeding and trying hard to not get attached .. Guber, the Cat ..
really doesn't mind sharing his Dad .. 

                                Born right here at our little Zoo and even on my birthday
                                             
               On August 30th, we were blessed with our very first new born baby Llama ..  

     September 2nd,  we had another baby born on .. 
His Mama (Shy) had to have help delivering this little fella .. 
So our daughter and I were right there and Holly delivered this beauty

                                                                               
   This is a baby Pygmy - and he's almost as tall as  a Barbie Doll  and now he
thinks as big as all the the other Goats ..  He is so cute to watch.

This is  Chip, he was a rescue and release GroundHog .. he loves to play with the
cats from time to time, Dale still comes around a great deal to share treats ..
                                        

Pete the Peacock .. he will allow me to actually pet his beautiful tail this year it looks
to be about 8 feet long ..

I will get updated pictures as soon as the weather will allow

My Name is Joe .. I am the People Greeter .. and I am actually saying

"Welcome"  

This is Gomez... He is our Male Rhea...
and he's about to hatch a clutch of eggs ...

     The Rhea's  are such loving Birds ...   

Here we have Baby Emu hatching, and the parents
actually allowed me to watch and share the bonding
times as Mickey introduced the new Chicks their Mama,
Maude .. this was a beautiful moment, and I felt so
honored to share it with them. 

                            
The Mama Goats .. Pure Nubian's .. and Very Loved.. but Not Spoiled .. 
I love my ladies they are so gentle ..  
Everyone is waiting for the grass to grow back again this spring ..
These gals love it when the kids come to visit them ..

These are the Big Kids ..
and the Biggest Babies I have ever seen in my life...

We were able to take in a Mute Swan that is in need of loads of love,
patience, and special care.

This little lady appears to be a 2005 hatch, still had  her brown tips on
her feathers, very healthy looking and her wing had been cut ... 
so folks were taking care of her.

However ..  some how - we assume a fishing lure with a large hook had
somehow stuck into the bottom part of her beak .. 
she ended up loosing a good 2 inches of her actual jaw bone, and the bottom bill ... 

We made many calls, and were even on TV as we went to get her and bring her home..
we are in the process of having a special beak built for her now ..

She eats really well and we make a soupy meal several times
daily and she is doing wonderful. 

        
You will see baby Rheas in the photo as  well..

We honestly do love everyone of our Critter Children, we devote all of our
time to them and we treasure each one dearly ...  
This site has been created to help support them all, as all sales are used to feed and maintain the zoo

   Blackshoulder Peacock                                               White Peacock

                        
This little guy is "Hambone" and the goat is "Dude", these 2 are about as best of
friends that any two little boys can be ...

I will be working on the Zoo Web Site soon .. and you will be able to visit with even
more of our Wonderful Critter Children there
