Wonderful repaints

About the hedgehog, I am afraid he needs your help badly.
A hedgehog that small being out in daylight has probably lost his mom and is not yet able to fend for himself .

If you can find him again, take him indoors, put him in a large cardboard box, and feed him kitten-food and water. NO MILK !

Perhaps you can look on the net for help.
Here in Denmark there is an association for helping hedgehogs, - so many mother-hedgehogs get killed in the traffic, and the babies have to weigh app 1,5 kg before they can manage without their mother.

But hurry, he is very vulnerable, any stray dog can hurt him or kill hom, he can`t yet defend himself !

We have found the little hedgehog again and his 4 brothers and sisters
They are sitting in two boxes and we have weigthed them, all of them were 100 gram...
They're 16 days old and Daphne has called the animal ambulance and comming up the wil pick up the baby hedgehogs ^^

Ohhh ! I am SO happy to hear it

100 grammes, that is very little .
From the state of development of the one in the picture they must be awfully thin.

How very fortunate that they encountered kind and heart-warm people like you to save them.

A big hug to you and Daphne for this good deed

Hurray you rescued them well done

I've spend the whole afternoon spitting for rainworms to feed them, they were very hungry!
Over about 3 hours, the AnimalAmbulance came to pick them up.
I'm very happy they will be fine!

That is just wonderful
Thankyou for telling

So they liked worms
Then they are not ill, only a bit starved.
I am sure they will grow very fast in the competent hands of the animal rescue people.
They will check them for fleas, scratches or infections, and make sure they get lots of food and the vitamins and minerals they need .
When they are app 2 kg, they are big enough to go back to nature and become fat before their winter sleep.
It must be both sad and great to set them free

What a lovely , great history!
You deserve a great thankyou from Mother Nature

Bit old pic, I took it before christmas, we have much MUCH more snow now!!!

Wow,what a wonderful picture Kiana! It seems that Finland is a beautiful country.
I wish I would have reindeers in front of my entry-door,lucky you! Thank you for showing.

Wow! I love the reindeer! :)

-Kristie

Ohhhhhh

Two ( three ) of the most wonderful animals I know

I LOVE red cardinals, - whenever I can, I beg "the brands" to make a pair

And reindeer !!! Where would Santa be without them
How big are they ? I remeber the first time I saw some in real life, I was surprised that they were not very large, - but sometimes when seing pictures of them with people they look larger
Perhaps their keepers are not very tall, - or the one I saw were very small ?

Thankyou for wonderful pictures, how great that this subject has began again

Here is one picture that I found showing the size of the reindeer. Not very big animals. In the summer they are brown and hard to be seen beside the road and in the summer this town is full of reindeers!!!

Wonderful animals !! The reindeers in front of your door !!

Great picture of Santa and his little Rudolph

Thankyou, Kiana

Beautiful Cardinal Kristie, I just saw it on facebook too - they are such gorgeous birds

Caribou! What a lovely sight Kiana

Reindeer! How lovely! And red cardinal is very beautiful too Thank You for sharing beautiful photos Kiana and Kristie

We have a lot of Canadian Geese around here, but there is one in particular that has been making regular visits to my horses pasture. I think he (she?) is quite lovely and I thought I'd share some photos that I took today. :)

Sneaking up on him....

Think perhaps I got too close. Talk about a look of warning!

WOW Such a beautiful picture and such beautiful animals! What a rare sight, reindeers walking around the street

Ohh, Kristie !
I think Canadian geese are some of the most fabulour birds !
It is strange, because we almost never see them here, I think I must have seen some as a child, because they always seem famiar to me in some way

Your pictures are fantastic
Uhh, look how he blows himself up when you got too close

Thankyou, thankyou for those beautyful pictures

Thank you Kelsey and Susanne!

You have to be very careful around the geese! I made sure there was no nest around before I started stalking it with the camera. If they are guarding eggs they will attack you! When I saw that look through the lens of my camera I thought I was in trouble. lol.

Now to stalk the wild turkeys! We have a couple of big gobblers that are showing off for the female turkeys. I've never seen one all puffed up in real life before until now. It is breathtaking!!! But so far I am unsuccessful in getting them on camera. They are much more shy and skittish than a goose!

When we went to the zoo and sat down to eat we were bombarded by the geese! They would sit their and wait for you to hand them something(which we tried hard not too, but they will snatch it from your hands!). As we were leaving one time, this one goose was following us and he looked dehydrated. We had to help him so we gave him some water. YES you have to be very careful around them.

Ohhh! Good you gave the goose water, Kelsey !
Geese need lots of water ! Preferably a whole lake

Kristie, I HOPE you get a good picture of those wild turkeys, I have never seen a wild turkey. Are they large ?
Imagine living i a place with red cardinals, wild geese, wild turkeys, red deer and...

It's so nice to see Canada gooses at your door step & Thanks for the photos! Hopefully you can snatch some wild turkey photos!
