Carl is like what is this guy doing? Yes it is a mating dance lol oh no. Live & Learn through Carl's mating terms. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
So scary but funny when lester went up against Carl .Lester is very brave standing his ground. Ostriches hormones arousal by dance and music 🎶 ha ha 😂 Carl dance moves are ace.
OH, MY!!! ROFLMAO!!! Carl has horns and he's actually the new Ringo during mating season? Thudding, Emu's do that too, it's a pretty cool sound, I think. 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
It's good to know what triggers odd behaviors in your animals. So good to see that Carl actually backed down from Lester's passive-aggressive dominance upon entering the Littles pasture. Good thinking, Lester. A little bribe, a mild push and he's learning who is boss.
Ostrich male skin colour changes when they are ready to mate. I remember the info visiting an ostrich farm. I have noticed that Carl's legs are red. This is the indicator. In ostrich farming, a man cannot enter a field with a male ostrich in heat, but women can. It is linked to hormones.
You and Jami are the best you have found out what made Carl react the way he did you have not give up on him but you have studied how to make sure it doesn’t happen again and to keep yourselves safe, he’s a beautiful animal and was reacting to his environment and behaving like the wild bird that he is , he’s in the right place with people who love him and will take good care of him , thank you for all you do💕🥰
You are both so right! The people that raise them for profit, don’t have a relationship with them. Just to collect eggs they use a super long scoop or drive their truck in the yard for protection. Another farmer has had the boy since a chick. He’s able to pet and touch his feathers. His hens aren’t friendly. As you both said it’s a totally individual situation. You are like that with ALL your babies. You get to know them and do what it takes to give them their best life. 🌻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was wondering if that wing "dance" that he was doing was some mating thing. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. That's why I love you guys because you do learn from your mistakes and try to be better. Both you and Carl are still learning about each other. I love that. I seriously don't think he'll be a danger to the littles. If he would be he would have shown it at feed time.
I’m so proud that Lester respected your page Jami and let you tell your story! I Love you two bantering, but today he was just so chilled with making sure Carl was in his zone! I sent a link to Kim or your mom or the msg in a lady who rescues ostriches . Thought she might be a useful contact.
Goodmornimg. Carl is a animal and acts like one . He's horney. Lol . He sure is beautiful. He has to learn . You have to train him . You all are doing great . Be proud . Yes agreed . You can read but you have to watch and see how he works . . Thanks for sharing have a great day
Thank you for being so committed to understanding Carl to ensure you make a safe and balanced home for him. Honeymoon phase is over and you all will find the right groove! No one said it was easy !!
I would call the nearest zoo that has ostriches and try to get some insight into this behavior. Zookeepers and animal behaviorists will have ideas about these behaviors and tips to help y’all stay safe.
The Ostrich farmers will tell you unnatural noise does trigger them off. Like cars hooting etc. Farmers will put notices up asking “ No Hooting as the ostriches are breeding”. There is a farm just outside of Cape Town, South Africa with those sign boards.
Wow, Jami you have really done your research, I had no idea about Ostriches. I hope he works out as he is beautiful and a nice addition to the farm. I want you all to stay safe. Good talk. 🤗🙏
Interesting video..as usual !!!! Carl is romancing anyone he loves !!! LoL !!! Noticed the 1st time..I have seen Carl holding up his tail..usual laying flat !! Mating time will pass..maybe !! Like you looking and learning !!! Pie was good..seeing all our beloved babies !!! Try watermelon..it's bright red..Carl should like it !! Just saying !LoL !! Love you sharing your sanctuary life !! Thanks sooo much !!
The squatting down and rolling from side to side is a mating dance/ritual seen on many videos about ostriches. Carl's doing pretty good considering what he's going through physically (hormones etc) but also moved to a new location with different animals, sights and smells. Hard to imagine that he's only been there two weeks, feels more like two months the way he's relaxed into all the changes he's experienced and he's been so aware of the other animals and where it's safe for him to set those big talons of his.
I am going to sound like a mother, grandmother and great grandmother--- please be careful! Continue to read about Carl! You'll are awesome to keep an eye on his demeanor. Sending prayers for your safety.
JAMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! SO SINCE THEY ARE IN HEAT STILL, DOES THAT MEAN ALL THAT WING-FLAPPING THAT LESTER THINKS CARL IS WAVING BACK TO HIM AND LESTER IS MAKING HIM FLAP HIS WINGS????????? AND HERE HE REALLY JUST WANTS TO JUMP LESTER'S BONES LMAOOOOOOOOOO OHHHHHH I'M DYING HERE SOOOO SOO!!! FUNNYYYY!!!
Lester and Jami, thanks for sharing all of the things you are learning about Carl. Every day you learn something new about the ostrich and use that information to help Carl. How great is that! Carl showed no aggression when Lester stroked his neck in the beginning of the video, twice he touched his neck. And learning about Carl's red legs and dancing-all good to know. I see you both trying to learn and understand Carl in all of his majesty. Being responsible farmers is so very high on my list-much love and respect for you both! ❤️ Keep on keepin' on!
Jamie, you have a good singing voice. You might want to try singing to Carl. I've seen videos where music calms donkeys, elephants, and I'm sure many more animals. Just a thought.
Your correct about if your cornered but if you're being or about to be attacked then the person who controls the neck controls the bird and it can help protect you from getting kicked.
When they got Carl I googled videos. One woman raises and rescues ostriches showed hold hand out as "stop" up to their face making yourself tall to any angry ostrich. She could even lay on an ostrich as pillow and hug them.
Hi from South Africa, we have many ostriches here. In the western Cape, we have signs on the N7 highway instructing motorists not to honk their car horns! You just don’t make a noise on that stretch of highway! Noise seriously aggravates them. What I can tell you is that they can be really sweet when they want to!
Interesting and fun facts I'm also learning here about Carl. The dancing was adorable but knowing the reason is very good to know. Poor Jan, the big guy wants absolutely nothing to do with her and she's clearly extremely smitten
What a great job you both are doing with Carl, it's going to take time for everyone to adjust there on the farm.. 😊 Thank you for letting us be part of your extended family... We look forward to seeing all your babies on the videos that you post each and everyday... ❤
Jami, thanks for explaining what is going on over there. I thought all of you lost your minds chasing after Carl and using his name 2,000 times a day. Anyway I don't think Carl has a dark side, he's only doing what Nature calls him to do. Lester be careful and Jami keep the fence between you and him until he settles down and the season is over. Love you guys!
Know we know that this is still a learning phase. Carl is an awesome amazing animal. We all know that when mating season has started until it has finished the animals act different. So now we have to just watch the signs and be prepared. Love this video. 😊
Was watching another show this morning on youtube and the man and woman raised ostriches. They fed it cucumbers. Said it also ate thorns and cleared out their fence rows. They are beautiful creatures.
Jamie and Lester, ya'll know your farm and your animals and what's best and keeps the most harmony on the farm. You guys do the best for your situation and we are blessed to just be a part of it through your videos...🥰
Having learned all this it seems Lester, without realizing it, is taunting Carl. His fist out, letting him peck, eye contact are maybe a challenge to Carl. This is all so fascinating.
Lester letting Carl peck on his hand, is establishing the pecking order. Carl dosen't wish to be grabbed by his neck or touched just yet. Waiting to develop trust can take awhile. Carl is adjusting, dealing with the stresses and anxieties of his new life. His neck is where he is vulnerable, and constantly grabbing for it, stresses Big Bird. Lower voices, walking with, not at, keep your hands to yourself, always have a treat or reward, and let time turn things around.
I'm glad you have things under control it was very scary to see Carl act like that so angry so aggressive but I understand that animals are animals and they have their instincts just be careful stay diligent
Yes Carl is in all out male-mode (in-season they call it). Besides the behavior, you can tell by their red legs and their red skin on their neck & sometimes face, depending on the bird. Ours got very aggressive, to the point that I couldn't go in the pen. If I did, he'd come running full speed and try to kick me (it was his mission in life lol) and when he couldn't kick me, he'd kick the fence. It finally got so bad I just threw their feed over the fence and he'd still kick the fence. When the female was with him, it was even worse. Their dance is a ritual to attract females and show their dominance. I mentioned once that I had ostriches, they are difficult, but if anyone can figure it out, y'all can ... The aggressive males tend to stay aggressive, like a rooster that always wants to fight. Dancing in front of him is like teasing a dog, in a sense, it eggs him on. Trying to pet him is also egging him on. When they raise up like that, it's a warning you're invading their space. Our ostriches were hand raised. When we got them as yearlings, they were so much fun. You could walk with them, side-by-side, it was amazing. You could pet them ... You could even touch their legs. That ended though when they came of age. These are just my recollections, don't know if it helps any. Thanks for sharing.
I read ostriches can "fall in love" with their owner and that it is very common if the bird is raised in captivity. Wild ostrich apparently do not have that same compulsion. Strange but not unlike Cornholio humping LE's leg or flip flops. Lol
Ostrich 101 - interesting things to learn about Carl and ostriches in general. Carl has a big adjustment to make living at the farm. He’s going to be okay and so will you, stay the course. Learning about Carl is so interesting and I applaud you not backing down due to fear.
Jami maybe y’all could contact a zoo who keeps Ostriches and get info on their care, needs , meaning of certain moods, really any Indio they could share with y’all to help Carl and talk safer and happier in his care!!! I love Carl and only want him happy just as millions of other viewers do just as y’all do!!
I’m so sorry it was brought to my attention I misspelled some words pls forgive me I have visual problems what I meant to say was any info they could share with you to help Carl and for a safer and be happier in his care ! Thanks love talk ❤️🙏🙋🏻
Great job Lester. Not backing down to Carl showed him that no I'm coming in so get back. I hope that Carl settles down so that for the safety of y'all and all the babies he can stay. But please don't hesitate to re-home him as you've done in the past with animals that were not good for the sanctuary. Prayers for y'all.
Lester and Jami, you might consider contacting a zoo that's familiar with Ostriches and their habits. Dr. Jeff, the Rocky Mountain Vet, on Animal Planet, has a Veterinarian in his practice, Dr. Baier, that worked at the Denver, Colorado Zoo for 14 years. I'm a big fan of Dr. Jeff and his channel, too. Maybe Lester could get more information from the farm that Carl came from.
Carl is learning every person as well. You did great Lester showed no fear nothing but confidence 🙌 and Carl can sense that! Just like Elephants they can be agressive when they are in musk which most of us call in in Heat. So glad you are researching & learning thats because of how much you care for your babies! Why I respect 🙌 you all so much! You are teaching me alot! Thank you 💕 😊
Oh wow, I guess I really missed something.....the video of Carl trying to mate with Lester. I'll have to watch it. I sure learned a lot today about Ostrich's. Thank you Jami. I think Carl is so cute, but I'll admit, I'd be scared of him. He's so big, and can run so fast. But that's just me. I so love all the animals in the sanctuary, including Carl. Love your video's Jami. Your awesome!! ❤️❤️
You are exactly right they smell the difference between a man and a woman that's the reason you can go in there he don't feel threatened by you love you videos and love you guys and God bless you all
I waited patiently for this video after you mentioned during the live that it was coming. First, it’s incredible that although I clicked on it as soon as it posted on my computer, you already had 325 views! Congratulations on that. Next, thanks for the info you provided. You really do have to take a “crash course” anytime you get a new animal and as you said, besides learning about general behaviors of a particular animal you have to also remember that they each will have their own personalities and idiosyncrasies. Carl is no exception. Finally, y’all have more patience with keyboard know-it-all’s and bullies than I could ever have. On that observation I’ll leave it with thanks for another informative and fun video and thanks for all y’all do! Y’all have a great week!
JAN: HOLD UP!!! Carl WON'T give me a second look! BUT THAT OVER GROWN FEATHER DUSTER is doing a mating dance FOR someone who isn't CLOSE to the same SPECIES as himself!!
Janky Jan and Carl is like a novela and I can't wait to see what happens next! Cornholio is not liking Jan looking at another man! Cornholio has been following Jan around all puffed up like look I'm big! I'm a big guy too!
Jami I am so happy to hear that Carl’s Dark Side is really not a Dark Side but a Hormone thing. Deante’ music and Dancing must have been a Mating Call❤️ Lester don’t scrape up your Shins and make them Red and leave your hat on because of your Bald Head it’s because Carl is Falling in Love With you and wants to Hook up (Mate)with you💞 “Oh Carl” Oooo La La💕! This video has been nice because Lester hasn’t been Interrupting you🤣 lol. So happy to know that Carl is just Hormonal and has not turned mean💙 Thank you Jami & Lester for keeping up with learning all about Ostriches💜 Diane from California
Jamie you are spot on. Mating season affects all animals. You'll learn to work it out. Proactive to prepare for each season for safety instead to no prep and reacting.
JAMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! OMG THAT IS SOOOO SOOO CRAZZY THAT THEY DO THAT AND IF THEY SEE SOMEONE DANCE THEY TAKE IT AS GOING TO HOOK UP LOLOLOL WOW I NEVER KNEW INNA MILLION YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUY'S ARE SOOOOOOOOO DAMMNNNNNN FRICKINNNNNNN AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
With any animal, there’s a period of adjustment as you learn their behaviors and they learn your rules. It takes time, adaptability, and patience; as Lester said, each animal is unique.
Simply outstanding… ❤ Even though we don’t know each other I definitely fell like a kindred spirit towards you and your love for animals and plants and growing things ❤ (and Lester’s loveable goofy self 🤣)
"Black people don't mind being called a Black person"........as a Black person I can confirm, this is accurate 👌🏾 🤣
I like the way Lester went into the pasture to feed the babies. Very matter of fact with no aggression but with confidence. Great job, Lester!
Lester has to tell carl he is in charge not carl he will get there just takes times
He needs a clutch of egg to sit on
He look like rod runner ! He is beautiful! Glad u have him ! Thanks sharing him with us ! ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Oh my gosh, I LOVED seeing Dante dancing with Carl!!!🥰 Even though Carl took it as a mating dance, it's still freaking awesome!
Good to know that the red face and feet indicate he’s agitated. I thought his legs were hurt lol. Thank you for sharing.
Hey guys inch by inch
Thank you for taking such loving care of Carl!!!!
Carl is quite the dancer. Carl has skills lol
May I just say if we can see more of Deonte I would be sooo grateful. I love this man!😃😆Anyone who just stops to dance are my favorite people.👏🏽👏🏽🎶
Carl is like what is this guy doing? Yes it is a mating dance lol oh no. Live & Learn through Carl's mating terms. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
Carl’s feathers are growing he looks beautiful 😍
Very well done video loved hearing Lester say we're not going to give up on him praying for you all and Carl be safe.
So scary but funny when lester went up against Carl .Lester is very brave standing his ground. Ostriches hormones arousal by dance and music 🎶 ha ha 😂 Carl dance moves are ace.
Yep, he's instinctual, but smart in his own way!
OH, MY!!! ROFLMAO!!! Carl has horns and he's actually the new Ringo during mating season? Thudding, Emu's do that too, it's a pretty cool sound, I think. 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
Awww Carl just wants some lovin 🤣🤣
*Carl looks like a genuine hip hop dancer!*
Fascinating, Carl's mating dance was quite beautiful.
I personally believe that Carl needs to be in a Zoo with other Ostriches. He is a wild animal. Before someone or an animal gets seriously hurt.
So the dancing explains his Saturday Night Fever strut! 😄🕺 "How you doin!?" 😄
"So we've learned that he's provoked by how red his legs are!" So Lester goes into the pasture with Carl's neon red legs flashing "warning!!!!" Lol!
Well the others need to eat. and you see how quick he back down? It wasn’t bad.
That is why Women Live Longer.
@Patti Dunn I was thinking the same thing.
LOL. Just like Cornholio’s wattle turning bright red LOLOL
@@BiterAvid LMAO Yes it is!
Diante left Carl all hot and bothered 😅....if you got one of those ostrich puppet heads I wonder what Carl would do 🤔😁
It's good to know what triggers odd behaviors in your animals. So good to see that Carl actually backed down from Lester's passive-aggressive dominance upon entering the Littles pasture. Good thinking, Lester. A little bribe, a mild push and he's learning who is boss.
Thanks for sharing, Carl is such a handsome boy and this journey with him is going to be an awesome learning experience.
Lester you did so well. EXACTLY WHERE you blocked Carl is where you protect yourself when an ostrich comes at you like that! Great job!
Carl is in a good home lots of Love 😘
I love how you all are with your babies.
Ostrich male skin colour changes when they are ready to mate. I remember the info visiting an ostrich farm. I have noticed that Carl's legs are red. This is the indicator. In ostrich farming, a man cannot enter a field with a male ostrich in heat, but women can. It is linked to hormones.
I bet Lester taking hormones makes Lester's smell stronger too!
Show him who is Boss!
Interesting. Thanks!
Carl's dance was absolutely gorgeous I must say
I so love learning all this information about ostriches! So amazing! Ringo will always be RINGO! And we love him!
Dante... Come on baby light My fire, lol! Oh the lessons we are going to learn about ostriches.
You and Jami are the best you have found out what made Carl react the way he did you have not give up on him but you have studied how to make sure it doesn’t happen again and to keep yourselves safe, he’s a beautiful animal and was reacting to his environment and behaving like the wild bird that he is , he’s in the right place with people who love him and will take good care of him , thank you for all you do💕🥰

The people that raise them for profit, don’t have a relationship with them. Just to collect eggs they use a super long scoop or drive their truck in the yard for protection.
Another farmer has had the boy since a chick. He’s able to pet and touch his feathers.
His hens aren’t friendly.
As you both said it’s a totally individual situation.
You are like that with ALL your babies.
You get to know them and do what it takes to give them their best life.
🌻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
💃🏽No more dancing with Carl🕺😂🤣😂
Jami, I love how you do your research. You are the best thing that ever happened to the sanctuary!
I want to dance with that guy too…….Great job you guys letting Carl know who is boss. Lester, the pack leader of Longhorns and Ostriches.
Carl is in heat and doing a mating dance

Spot on Tina
Thank you Morrow family for what you are doing with all the animals.
Lola Tasmania
Our ostriches used to dance like this. It's to flirt with a female. I learnt my moves off them! 😂😂
Carl was being picked on by the other male ostrich.. he's a rescue
When I went to Brazil, they had ostrich on the lawn in front of the President’s house for protection.
You two are doing a great job learning about ostriches.
I can't even!!! I'm so glad I watched this!!! I'm hooked. Carl is a nut!
Thank you for being so committed to understanding Carl to ensure you make a safe and balanced home for him. Honeymoon phase is over and you all will find the right groove! No one said it was easy !!
Jan the Turkey is in love with Carl, Carl is in love with Dante the human, a love triangle?

The days of our pasture 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤠🦃
ROFL...yet once again 🤔🤔🤔 ya think maybe Carl is the problem lol... poor Carl💙

I wonder what Carl would do from a trumpet player playing his instrument or a live band or something like that.
Interesting
Is "hooting'' , like hunking the car horn in the USA?
I am no expert but I would think they mean by hoot any unusual loud noise
@@pja6988 hooting is the South African way of saying honking your horn.
I've been told if you put a hat on a stick and make yourself look bigger than them they will back down . From an ostrich keeper I spoke too
Yes. That's his mating dance. 👍😃
I did not know about that sound. That is 😎 awesome, wow!
Develope the "Carl armour"suit. Baseball catcher at home plate might be good👍
Still in the learning phases. You all are doing great! Keep it up.
Wow, Jami you have really done your research, I had no idea about Ostriches. I hope he works out as he is beautiful and a nice addition to the farm. I want you all to stay safe. Good talk. 🤗🙏

Jamie, you have a good singing voice. You might want to try singing to Carl. I've seen videos where music calms donkeys, elephants, and I'm sure many more animals. Just a thought.
I read that many farm Ostriches fall in love with thier human caregivers.
If cornered by Carl, raise your one arm straight up, and shape your hand like a bird's head. Use it too make him back away. Quit grabbing his neck.
Your correct about if your cornered but if you're being or about to be attacked then the person who controls the neck controls the bird and it can help protect you from getting kicked.

But please don't hesitate to re-home him as you've done in the past with animals that were not good for the sanctuary. Prayers for y'all.
Lester and Jami, you might consider contacting a zoo that's familiar with Ostriches and their habits. Dr. Jeff, the Rocky Mountain Vet, on Animal Planet, has a Veterinarian in his practice, Dr. Baier, that worked at the Denver, Colorado Zoo for 14 years. I'm a big fan of Dr. Jeff and his channel, too. Maybe Lester could get more information from the farm that Carl came from.
Carl is learning every person as well. You did great Lester showed no fear nothing but confidence 🙌 and Carl can sense that! Just like Elephants they can be agressive when they are in musk which most of us call in in Heat. So glad you are researching & learning thats because of how much you care for your babies! Why I respect 🙌 you all so much! You are teaching me alot! Thank you 💕 😊
Oh wow, I guess I really missed something.....the video of Carl trying to mate with Lester. I'll have to watch it. I sure learned a lot today about Ostrich's. Thank you Jami. I think Carl is so cute, but I'll admit, I'd be scared of him. He's so big, and can run so fast. But that's just me. I so love all the animals in the sanctuary, including Carl. Love your video's Jami. Your awesome!! ❤️❤️
You are exactly right they smell the difference between a man and a woman that's the reason you can go in there he don't feel threatened by you love you videos and love you guys and God bless you all
I waited patiently for this video after you mentioned during the live that it was coming. First, it’s incredible that although I clicked on it as soon as it posted on my computer, you already had 325 views! Congratulations on that. Next, thanks for the info you provided. You really do have to take a “crash course” anytime you get a new animal and as you said, besides learning about general behaviors of a particular animal you have to also remember that they each will have their own personalities and idiosyncrasies. Carl is no exception. Finally, y’all have more patience with keyboard know-it-all’s and bullies than I could ever have. On that observation I’ll leave it with thanks for another informative and fun video and thanks for all y’all do! Y’all have a great week!
Learning everyday with you folks❤️🇨🇦
JAN: HOLD UP!!! Carl WON'T give me a second look! BUT THAT OVER GROWN FEATHER DUSTER
is doing a mating dance FOR someone who isn't CLOSE to the same SPECIES as himself!!
Janky Jan and Carl is like a novela and I can't wait to see what happens next! Cornholio is not liking Jan looking at another man! Cornholio has been following Jan around all puffed up like look I'm big! I'm a big guy too!
🤣😂😀😅
Jami I am so happy to hear that Carl’s Dark Side is really not a Dark Side but a Hormone thing.
Deante’ music and Dancing must have been a Mating Call❤️
Lester don’t scrape up your Shins and make them Red and leave your hat on because of your Bald Head it’s because Carl is Falling in Love With you and wants to Hook up (Mate)with you💞 “Oh Carl” Oooo La La💕!
This video has been nice because Lester hasn’t been Interrupting you🤣 lol.
So happy to know that Carl is just Hormonal and has not turned mean💙
Thank you Jami & Lester for keeping up with learning all about Ostriches💜

The people who you got Carl from should have told you all of these fun facts about mating season and behavior to expect.
Yep that lay down low with the dancing is exactly what they do when they lay an egg too.
Jamie you are spot on. Mating season affects all animals. You'll learn to work it out. Proactive to prepare for each season for safety instead to no prep and reacting.
JAMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! OMG THAT IS SOOOO SOOO CRAZZY THAT THEY DO THAT AND IF THEY SEE SOMEONE DANCE THEY TAKE IT AS GOING TO HOOK UP LOLOLOL WOW I NEVER KNEW INNA MILLION YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUY'S ARE SOOOOOOOOO DAMMNNNNNN FRICKINNNNNNN AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are amazing with Carl, they say baby steps xx
Carl got comfortable in his new home and now he is can get down and crazy 😂😂
My favorite line is "Carl is also into dancing" lol!
With any animal, there’s a period of adjustment as you learn their behaviors and they learn your rules. It takes time, adaptability, and patience; as Lester said, each animal is unique.
Agree
Lester showed him his boss n Carl will come around bcuz he learning y'all to n who's in pecking order n Lester n y'all r top pecking order 👍👍👍👍🤠🤠
Simply outstanding… ❤ Even though we don’t know each other I definitely fell like a kindred spirit towards you and your love for animals and plants and growing things ❤ (and Lester’s loveable goofy self 🤣)
