Beautiful Brazil

One of the weekends that Richard was away, he visited the family farm of a coworker.

We'll start with the "wildlife". As this was a working dairy farm (milking done by hand!) there were plenty of cows around. This bull had his horns removed as a calf so he couldn't do much damage if he attacked.

At least the eyes aren't glowing red!

The matriarch of the family hand raised these birds, but felt badly keeping them caged. She released them but they returned to her. They sleep in a blanket lined box in her bedroom and hang around for treats as well (like the popcorn in the next picture)!




More pictures to come!
