I know I should like all creatures, but this vulture is eating my sticklebacks and frogs. Soon the pond will be denuded of all other life.

Ours is a forty a day giggle. She LOVES to make us laugh. Beware though, she was a bed destroyer par excellence for the first two years. She was easily trained for recall, but a terrible barker! Should have called her Sue.
