Well, from what I could see....it was NOT pinioned. And, I didn't have to poke it...all I did was walk up to the stall, and the freakin thing attacked the wall!! Beating its wings, hissing, Oh jeesh, what have I gotten myself into?? This is one scary swan! LOL
gd, that's what I was understanding as well. I don't know if this one was pinioned or not...and I didn't think to ask the Avian vet. Is there a way I can personally tell....without getting my head beat off with its wings?? LOL
Here we are...Christmas is upon us. Are we all ready?? HECK NO!!! I still have to make the pumpkin bread, Banana nut bread, pumpkin pie, Chocolate chip cookies, I have ONE more day to get it done...tomorrow. Plus, I have to go to the feed store tomorrow, and the store, before noon! Today was a...

Oh, I know all about the rain, we are under a flood watch here. Thankfully we are high enough, and far enough away we wont get that....but we have puddles everywhere!!
