A friend of mine, Jenny, in CA has received four raptors from me in the past few years for use in her educational programs all over the state. Amazingly she also uses domestic animals in her shows too, including this little lady. This is Ms. FRIZZ, a half grown bantam chicken of the Frizzle variety. They come in lots of colors, I tried red but they all turned out to be roosters. I think Jenny lucked out and got a hen. As you can see, she's not in an outside, dirt floored, pen. She's sharing the house with Jenny and her wonderful old Golden Retriever, SPIRIT. The dog puts up with some hair pulling and pecking probably wondering just how yummy a bit of chicken would taste but is much too good natured to do anything about it as you can see in the other photo. I wonder just what SPIRIT is thinking? Or Ms.FRIZZ?
If you ever get in the San Francisco area be sure to try and see any program done by the Native Bird Connections (see links), they are very informative and entertaining.
