Cute fuzzy animals!

[hellziggy]

Fair post the second: animals!

The State Fair isn't just about food though. There are animals there too!
I'm always amused by the sheep that have been shorn. They put these little outfits on them. I don't know if it's to keep them warm, or if it is to keep them clean. All I know is that it makes them look like little KKK sheep.





And if they are KKK sheep, someone should let this guy know that he probably doesn't really want to join...


There were freaky looking poultry, like this Frillback Hen:


and this Capuchine cock:


There was some hardcore rabbit disapproval that even Cinnamon would have a hard time matching:


and there were alpacas which are just utterly adorable!

hellbob didn't agree that we should get one of these to live in our backyard. :(

And last, but certainly not least, they had raptors at the DNR building, and the missing eye makes this little Eastern Screech Owl one of the crankiest looking birds I've ever seen!

Now is probably a bad time to mention to you that I have a brother who raises alpacas.

I will never be able to look at the little sheep suits again without thinking of the KKK rally in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.

Yes, the lack of eye makes the screech owl look remarkably cranky, but he has nothing on the disdain in that bunny's expression.

Awesome fowl.

Alpacas!! *grabby hands*
The city ordinance against livestock certainly doesn't apply to alpacas, does it?

Yes, that is one totally disapproving rabbit! If you think you can handle more disdain be sure to click on the Disapproving Rabbits link. And if you still want more, you can pre-order the book that the Other Sharon is putting out: http://www.birdchick.com/birdchic.html#rabbitbook

The question is, what to Klan sheep burn instead of crosses to intimidate the alpacas?

knitting needles.

To me the sheep look like they are about to be used as steeds in a jousting match
