Gorgeous!!! Love all the tiny critters romping in the forest. Love the detail work Melanie did on this lovely.
Bela, your leopard ponycorn is beautiful! Congrats
Linda, Thanks & let me know what you get. I’m open to trades.
Here’s my lovely! Looks like it could be related to Tig3r06’s but orange tiger stripes. I’m open to trades should this be anyone’s favorite.
It’s hard to pick favorites as there’s far too many gorgeous ones. Melody outdid herself with this batch of ponycorns. Outstanding!
The males constantly try to steal other females from their mated pair in a battle of whomever is the strongest wins. I’ve had to breakup a number of fights between the drakes last year when I had 3 pairs coming here for food, and a roving band of drakes looking for females (which appear to be in short supply). The males are very protective of their mated female & fight to the death. Might be what happened with your male sulking. Once they pair off, they don’t leave the sides of the female until she hatches the eggs. The males are even protective of birds or chipmunks getting too close to female. This guy above used his beak to flip a chipmunk a foot into the air when it got to close to the female while both were feeding.
Cool that you built a nest for them. I may give that a try. I guess they really don’t need water until the eggs hatch. Surprised that right after birth, the babies immediately follow mom over to the water source & get swimming & food lessons.
I was at the grocery store last year, & all traffic stopped because a momma duck was leading her 13 baby ducks over to water source, but the one lagging took 4 attempts to get up the curb. Wish I had pulled out my cellphone to get video of it.
They’re back!!! This is the fourth year that my Mallard duck pairs have returned. It still amazes me that after migrating thousands of miles, they seem to find their way back to specific homes where they know we put out treats for the critters. I take this as a sign of Spring when they arrive. Only wish I had a pond in my yard so that they might nest nearby so I can catch a glimpse of the baby ducks when they hatch.
My beauty arrived today. Wouldn’t mind her staying, but if she’s your #1 I’d gladly look at trades as there’s lots I like.
Love the grapes/buds on Pegasi’s. Gorgeous
That’s the high price of such success having so many fans that you break websites from high traffic!
Thanks for the update. I didn’t think they’d sell out so fast. Is the trick logging into Windstone first before clicking on the link to bring up the Google form?
