We
have a few animals besides the reptiles:
|
|
|
Tanja (normally called Mulle) our (guard??) dog. She is a Hovawart, a German race. Tanja is born in May 1996. In her early years, she wasn`t the easiest dog to deal with. She destroyed everything until we gave up and gave her the opportunity to access the hole house. That was the thing to do and after that practically nothing is damaged. She still steals everything and eats it though. |
 |

Tanja is the Queen on our little farm. She rules the garden accepting only people introduced first. At night no one other than the "family" can be in the garden. Everyone and everything else are chaced away. She cares for our other animals. Every morning she has her morning look to be sure that everything is OK. In the Spring and in the Autum, she helps us finding the turtles, so that they can come inside in the cold nights. Once a waterdragon has escaped its cage and she came belling loudly to tell that there were an animal, where it shouldn`t be. |
| Fizban moved in July 2003. He was born 26. April 2003. He is a lovely Maine Coon cat, even he has an aditional toe on both front paws (polydactyl). He and Tanja are best friends playing together all the time. Bupu is our smallest cat. Even as adult she has not passed 1 kilo. |

Fizban talks.... He talks a lot.... He will always be where things are happening, so if he cannot see anyone or Tanja, he calls loudly all through the house, untill he finds us. Even his ancestors has been domesticated for many generations, he still "brakes the ice" bashing the waterbowl before drinking, and if he has more food than he can eat, he tries to cover it, before he leaves. |
| Special high protein kittens food isn`t suitible for him. No, he likes the diet food that Tanja gets, so we add a little of that everytime he is fed. |

Skiffer and Bløb Olsen, 2 grey parrots. Both are captive born and hand raised in Denmark. Skiffer is from 1993 and Bløb Olsen is from 96. They can talk using more than 200 words often in the right connections. Sounds like the telephone is often heard when they are bored driving us mad at times......
|
|
In
the summer 2003 they got a new and larger home outside. Both are sexed
and determined to be a pair, but during the years, we newer have seen
any breeding behaviour before.
|
|
 |
In
the end of September it happened. They started copulating, and we imidiatly
ordered a new cage to be placed indoors. The winter here is too cold
for them, so it should be finished before Skiffer started brumation.
3 eggs were laid, and they were moved indoors without any problems.
|
| 11. November 2003 one egg hatched. The others were infertile. Here is a photo of the youngster 3 weeks old. Both adults has proven exelent parents, even they are both hand raised. Their aggression towards us has increased wildly, and they attacks at every chance. |

Here the youngster is starting to look like a bird taken 23. December Many thanks to the people below for guidance and help John Vestergaard from Interessegruppen IGP Stig Meyer from Interessegruppen IGP Erik from Randers Volieren for quick delivery of their cage. And especially to our good friend parrotspecialist Claus Nielsen.
