I just love living in a semi-rural area. Within a half mile of us, there are horses, cattle, goats, and sheep. And these beauties, who live just across the road for us.

Here a moa käne (rooster) shows his girls where to find the tastiest stuff to eat. The other day when I left the house, one of the girls was out in the middle of the street. A car was coming toward them; we both stopped and I shooed the silly moa back where she belonged. The other driver and I waved to each other as we each went on our way.

This rooster was keeping his girls where they belonged!
