...and then there were two!

Animal Resort

Last Saturday, DN and Caryn visited Animal Resort and had a swell time. After a breakfast of prata (DN lurves prata) and thosai at Jalan Kayu, we swung over to Seletar Farmway 5 to meet Caryn and her parents. We got there at 10am and left at 11.30am. That tiny little farm entertained us suitably for 1.5 hours.

DN and Caryn fed the

• goats
• cranes
• fish
• guinea pigs
• rabbits
• chickens
• geese
• turkey and
• cancer bird
  

Yes, cancer bird. It's a farm, not a zoo, so the cages weren't labelled. And us being the city mice that we are, we had no idea what this animal was.

We stood outside his cage for a good 15 minutes, arguing about that long sac hanging off his chin.

Carla : It's a goiter!
PF : It's a cyst!
Noel : It's Ebenezer Scrooge!
Me (thinking) : It's going to eat our children!

We concluded that he smoked too much in his younger days and is paying for it now with that cancerous cyst. We gave him some bread and christianed him "cancer bird". As we left, Caryn said, "Bye cancer bird!" Oops.

The Animal Resort is free for all. You just need to buy feed for the animals - $2 for 3 packets. My advice is, just buy the bread, carrots and fish food. As tasty as they are, the turkey and chickens weren't exciting to feed at all and the rabbits and guinea pigs were too blind to find the food dropped into their cages.

Here's DN feeding the rabbits, but...

... doing this instead! I bet they didn't know what hit them. LOL.

There were 2 goats there. Until Noel (the observant city mouse) pointed it out, the 3 of us never knew that goats have rectangular pupils! Did YOU know?

Looks like Mr Goat needs a pedicure... big time.




When I got this packet of food, I told Carla, "Cool! Pileons! Wonder what they look like."

I think I remember Carla going something like this, "Prrrrthhhh! Wa-hahahaha!" I think she was glad I didn't say anything about "jurkeys".

This was the only decent picture we got of DN & Caryn. Thank goodness for digital cameras.
