Firstly please excuse the mess, I’m in the middle of a diy project in the greenhouse.

Firstly please excuse the mess, I’m in the middle of a diy project in the greenhouse. But our new ‘pet’ pheasant has decided that in amongst the debris is a good place for a dust bath.

So as not to disturb her, my husband had to pass me my drill through the window.

@helenclayton aww, look at her, so adorable. 🥹

[icooiey@mastodon.green]

@helenclayton you have been adopted by her. How long until you’re giving her special treats?

[penpencilbrush@mstdn.social]

@helenclayton Scouting out a nice place to raise the kids?

[cynblogger@sfba.social]

@helenclayton
She needs a name! ❤️

[nerdd@mstdn.social]

@helenclayton She certainly doesn't mind the mess, so why should we? 😄

Look at her enjoying herself! 😍

@helenclayton what a beauty

[budgegeria@mastodon.social]

@helenclayton Bird knew that it would be an inconvenience for you and did it anyway.

[miketorr@mastodon.art]

@helenclayton That's pretty adorable :)

I was slightly disturbed at first though... in the static image, if you imagine her right eye is actually a left eye and there's a mouth at the front edge of her right wing, it looks like some weird deep sea fish - and that's what I initially saw! Yikes.

@helenclayton such a wonderful fluffy lady

[akamran@indieweb.social]

@helenclayton @alexhaist fluffy spa day!

[callunavulgaris@mastodon.scot]

@helenclayton That's really lovely.

@helenclayton Get some meal worms at the pet shop. I bet she’d love them.

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@helenclayton
Clearly she was able to quickly figure out that you're good people.
I foresee one of those "the animal that changed my life" stories coming out of this.

@helenclayton

It’s always a wonderful thing when a wild animal trusts like that. You have been blessed.

[vanalope@timeloop.cafe]

@helenclayton birds having a dust bath are THE BEST. It's my fave thing to watch our chickens doing. 😆

[helenclayton@mas.to]

@IcooIey well I think it was giving her mealworms the other day that has resulted in her adopting us 😂

[helenclayton@mas.to]

@penpencilbrush I did worry for a moment there. Have only just come inside and made sure to double check the greenhouse before closing the door.

[icooiey@mastodon.green]

@helenclayton tsk tsk, if you feed them they will never leave! Of course, she’s very sweet and you don’t want her to leave so well done.
