That sounds a lovely job to have!
(Will they just hang seeds and suet balls etc on you while you stand in the garden?
)You have a lot of patience, so I'm sure you'll be successful, but good luck anyway.
Yes, the cat on the pic was me beloved tomcat "Monty". It was his last summer. I must put him to sleep at the end of the year 2018. He was very sick with bad respiration problems and I still missing him. He was my "baby". Raised without a cat mommy with my own hands. He always thought I am his mommy. He was so cute and nice. R.I.P. my little Monty.

Hello Michael. Welcome in the darkness of the Cold Dark Room. Though it is dark here all people are very friendly and nice. Talk torts and all other stuff you`d like. Feel comfortable sitting on an armadillo and poak a yellyfish for some light. Soon you will be addicted to the CDR and the people here.
Btw., I am Bee ( Sabine ) from Germany.
I keeping a half zoo: Torts, chicken, sheep, cats and dogs.

Hello Ray. Can`t wait to see pictures of Opo`s outside enclosure. What is a mirror box ?
I am not sure that torts are so conceited that they need mirrors....
The Ozark region is full of cities and towns with a rich culture and heritage. The city of Clinton is no exception. Located four miles north of Clinton, the Natural Bridge has, for several decades, attracted many visitors and lovers of nature. But long before it became a tourist destination, the Natural Bridge was home to a variety of people.
It’s said the Quapaw Indians once called the area home and early pioneers used the stone bridge to cross Little Johnny Creek. It’s also believed that one notable temporary resident was Belle Starr, a notorious female outlaw who had associations with other popular outlaws such as Jesse James.
Later, the late 1880s through early 1900s were exciting times for loggers in Northern Arkansas. In the years following the Civil War, the timber industry exploded throughout the state. It became a lucrative business thanks to the expansion of the M&NA Railroad, which brought locomotives, people, and access to the modern world. Nearby towns like Shirley and St. Joe came into existence because of the railroad. Loggers would come to use the Natural Bridge to haul logs across the steep and treacherous terrain.
Thankfully, for thousands of years, this ancient bridge has endured whatever stresses nature or man have inflicted upon it. Although it has been located on private property since 1970, this 3-million-year-old stone bridge has been open to the public. For a few dollars, you can see the Natural Bridge in all its 120-foot majestic splendor. It truly is a sight to behold; words and pictures don’t come close to how truly spectacular this natural wonder is. For safety reasons, no one is allowed to actually walk on the bridge, but you can get fairly close for some great photos.

Arkansas has some outstanding natural features from waterfalls to caves. One of the features that may be overlooked are the unique rocks that make their way along the state’s different trails. From natural bridges to weird erosion effects, Arkansas has is home to some truly out of the world rock formations.
The Turtle Rocks are yet another geological oddity in Petit Jean State Park. They're thought to be made from a unique form of chemical erosion forcing sand grains out from the rock creating the round shell-like shape.
Prim is called the “home of the round rocks” due to geological formations in the area—large, spherical sandstone boulders commonly ranging in diameter from one foot to four feet. When the first settlers arrived, these rocks were viewed as impediments to farming, so most were relocated away from the plowed fields and stacked in piles. Denizens of the region have used them for decoration along driveways, near home entrances, and in front yards. Geologist Tom Freeman in 1964 was the first to perform a scientific study of the rocks. Studies are ongoing to provide a better understanding of their formation, distribution, and economic potential as decorative stones.
