Some people get sparrows, some get blue tits. Some get magpies and some get.......

Now if I can just reach this Fatball!

Neither did we, until they disappeared after a vsit from the fox. Then we saw them fly down from the top branches of our Perry Pear, 60 feet up!

Well Palustris, it's a good thing they can, but 60ft, amazing.  My Dad always kept chickens along with a cockerel but all they could do was frantically flutter up to maybe 4 or 5 feet.
Like Wardy and Heldi, I'd like to know the breed as one day I would love to have 2 or 3 chickens.

Sorry. She is a Chamois Friesian and as a breed they are well known for their ability to fly.
