My dad built a sheltered wooden frame in his garden for his new orchid collection. He's very proud of it.

I went around to visit him today and heard a rooster sound. Dad lives in suburbia. His yard is completely paved. Apparently this little black rooster flew into Dad's backyard and liked the frame so much he uses it as a roost.

Dad can't get it to leave so he's given in and has started feeding the guy.

I have no idea where the rooster would have come from. Animals are always popping up in Dad's garden though. It's bizarre.

That's hilarious!
My husband constantly brings home animals. I feel like I'm running a farm.

I came home to chickens in the backyard once. Husband told me that he was driving past a vacant lot and saw the chickens who "looked hungry" so he brought them home. O_O;;;
I asked him how the hell he got them home (because he has a work van) and he replied "Well, I put them in my wheelbarrow, put the barrow in the back of the van and drove them home".
So.
*shakes head*

I'm waiting for the day I return home and there's a donkey in the yard.

Sounds like my house.

We currently have a rat in the bathroom.

Chickens are marvelous pets--smarer than you'd think and , once they get to know you, pretty affectionate. I would love to see a photo of the rooster and o your dad's orchids! (hint hint).

This is a cheery little story, I'm glad it's true!

That's beyond adorable. I get excited when the neighborhood's wild rabbit (he or she looks like a pet that escaped or was turned loose) shows up in my yard.
