Blast From the Past, Rheas
I had to share this video that a friend of ours took of Greg, and the rheas we used to raise way back when.
Greg no longer has hair that long. ...come to think of it, neither do I.
Many thanks to Bill for sending this our way. It brought back a lot of fond memories.
Note: The video is labeled as emus, but these are actually rheas. The big bird that's dancing with Greg was called Grumpy--for obvious reasons.
We had just started our rhea ranch. I can tell by looking at the background that some walls hadn't yet been put up, or any of the back pens. And we were young! LOL. Fortunately, there is no footage of me in this video. (Thank you, Bill!)

I know it must sound silly to everyone out there, but I couldn't stop grinning when I watched this. We were in our prime, doing what we loved best.

However, that video makes a rather interesting silent movie. Why was the big bird so angry at the blue shirt? I could tell why it was angry at the mean old man holding it by the throat but it went back to biting the blue shirt.
You lead a very interesting life.
Raelyn: I'm not sure now. It was at least seven years though because I left for Dallas in 2000.
Linda: You MUST get sound. LOL. Half the fun are the quips being bandied about.
The rhea is angry because someone has entered his seraglio. He's protecting his harem of two hens.
He was probably the most aggressive of all the males we ever owned. He was a great bird and fathered some impressive chicks.
I miss that life. I've done a lot of interesting things, but this was one of my favorites.
When that male rhea got to posturing, it looked beautiful but ready to peck-for-pain to any invaders.
I still don't have anything that makes sense, so I'll have to wait for the next clue. :S
Marian: LOL. I wasn't sure how to run a Hangman contest through a blog, but I think giving clues will help--I hope. Thanks for playing.
Clarissa: Rheas are a South American bird, a relative of the ostrich.
