Sometimes when I go out to feed the animals I just go through the steps...get the hay, give it to them...fill the bucket with grain, give it to the camel...check their water...done.
Then there are days that I love to stand and watch them interact while they eat. There is so much negotiating going on for better dining spots that is makes me smile!
The pygmy goat especially can't seem to eat without eying everyone else's pile of hay. He will take a bite from one pile and run to the next, pushing the much larger animal out of the way. He then takes a bite from the new pile and then onto a better pile. All the time he keeps his eyes on the previous piles to make sure he didn't miss something. He eventually partakes from all the piles and starts all over again...essentially running in circles!
It would be fun to be able to see life through the eyes of my animals...if only just at feeding time!
