Harry and Jimmy

Yesterday afternoon, after the big heavy rainfall, I had a new visitor in my garden. I called this Ibis bird "Harry". He was very busy picking at all the fat worms, snails and other "bug-goodies".

But he was not the only one new visitor....

May I introduce you to "Jimmy"......?

Jimmy is new in the environment and is quite different than all the other brown-red chickens we have running around the house. He is white, tall, can barely crow - but he tries! And he has to fight very hard to defend his new territory.

While Harry is gone by now, it seems that Jimmy won the fights against all the other roosters and decided to stay.

Fighting for food...

What the heck is he spying on?

Happy Chicken Family - but "Papa Rooster" is still the boss on the spot!

Mmmmh...kids, come over here to pick - the corn meal is special good today!

He is getting ready to fight for his territory - sneaking in to the scene from behind.....

...and started blowing up his feathers already, then he saw me coming closer with my camera - and he changed his mind! To bad for the photographer - I missed probably some very nice cock fight pictures!
