Are on the verge of cockiness what with all their fame and celebrity ;).
Ady’s on telly, Davies is a locally celebrated artist (with exhibitions lined up in two further locations in the next month) and the cockerel. Well he really is getting above himself!
In fairness he is gorgeous, bloody good at his job (shagging hens and crowing at regular intervals) and I secretly have maximum respect for him and all his attitude, but he has started getting a bit pecky. We either need to be handling the bantams more or appreciate that they are not pets and as such need to be given a wider berth. In order to let them out each morning we have to pull across the wedging bit of wood from their coop and then lift up the flap of thinner wood directly across their doorway. He has obviously learned the sound of the sliding across bit and is ready waiting, with a pecky beak for you to move the lifty bit which involves having your fingers in the run and he is there to have a go. Cos he clearly thinks he’s hard enough!
The first time he went to peck me I did the chicken textbook reaction of making myself big, looming large over him and shouting. Clearly he doesn’t understand english but I shouted in it anyway and gave him a bit of a ‘Don’t you DARE peck at me’ type lecture. To which he listened, cocked his head and with more attitude than Catherine Tate’s Lauren did a full on ‘cockadoodle DOOOOOOO am I bovvered?’ at me :lol:.
I wonder if he’d understand the international sign language gesture of waving a large knife and crockpot under his nose … 😉
Apart from that red stuff on his head, he does look very handsome (I also can’t see his evil claws in that photo, which helps!).
Throttle the bastard and see how pecky he is then. He looks pretty good though.
