Observed on my street today: A pair of chickens browsing someone’s front lawn. Not the sort of thing I see everyday. Or ever.
However, there was a Christmas day around ten years ago when I looked out of my front window and saw someone leading a herd of goats down the street. I’ve checked on subsequent Christmas days and not seen a single goat, which has been disappointing. I wouldn’t like to think that neighborhood weirdness had peaked all those years ago, with no chance of a comeback.
Today’s chickens show that there’s still a modicum of hope for this old neighborhood.

they must know that a bird-friendly guy lives there...
ReplyDeleteit's always startling and wonderful to see live things in unusual locations. I've had neighbors' dogs get into my apartment and even that is entirely mind-bending -- "DOGS running THERE???" Changes the whole way the space looks. And of course chickens in more or less urban areas are an utter delight (and far too rare).
