Goats!

I got 2 Nigerian Dwarfs a couple of weeks ago, Biscuit is the tan one and Gumbo is the black/white one.

I like goats too. Don't have any of my own right now, but I work with them from time to time.

It has been fun watching them, they're like acrobatic dogs.

I had one as a kid.
He liked to climb trees.
Never use a rope to secure a goat if there are trees nearby.
That's how mine ended his life....

I swear… Half of maintaining animals in captivity is just preventing them from killing themselves in some weird way...

Are goats smart? Do they learn quickly?
Somehow I imagine they have a short attention span...

Very trainable.

Very smart. Very stubborn. But driven by food more than anything else.

My boys were pretty skittish when I got them. After only a couple of weeks they come running when they see someone and are definitely VERY food driven. Goat treats have turned out to be invaluable in their training.

I feel that way everyday with the Parrots. Talk about accident prone.
