One of our adult ducks, Mayday Cardoon, was killed by a bald eagle a few days ago. This time feels different than the deaths of the two ducks we lost to raccoons. We are sad, but it’s hard to be angry at a bald eagle. If nothing else, I am pretty sure that this is the most patriotic way to die.
Fig, May’s bestie, has been pretty freaked out, she wont stop yelling and Cinco (the turkey) keeps attacking her. Poor Fig.
Also, I never would have thought that Cinco would out live May.
RIP Mayday Cardoon.
We are a tiny urban farm located in NE Portland, Oregon. We have recently moved our goats, ducks and turkey from the front yard of our small city lot to a much larger space, nearby. We are in the process of clearing laurel and ivy from our new barnyard in order to make way for a demonstration food forest and annual vegetable garden.
We host and teach workshops on self-reliance and urban farming and spend a lot of time answering the questions of passersby. If you have ideas about classes that you want to take or teach please let us know. Or if you just want to hold a baby goat we can help with that too.
