and all my kids were really interested in were the chickens :shock:

Can anyone tell me what breed they are cos we really did fall in love with them and would like to put them on our wish list.

Awww bless 'em!

my hubby would have been trying to sneak a monkey home

that's on HIS wish list!

You know me.. and how new i am so won't comment on breeds...

Glad you had a good day even if chook shopping would have satisfied them!

Just be grateful that's a lot easier to deal with than monkeys!

The second one looks a bit like my Amberlinks!

Thank you very much. They both had big bouffant tails and we've fallen in love!

And I thought we wouldn't get any more! :roll:

you should have taken them to the local city farm instead, would have saved you a fortune

BTW Porfor I can relate to your hubby. I wouldn't have minded slipping a baby Orangutang into my pocket!

lol he likes little uns thankfully.. even priced them up at one stage.. i can see him getting one when the kids have grown up and flown the nest!

I could hardly moan all the other animals are mine or instigated by me!

Well the ring tailed lemors were very cute too!

absolutely love them!

And the tiny marmosets are a fav for us

I raised a giggle once looking at a small monkey (don't ask me which one i can't remember) in a 'house' with windows.. it came running up to the glass and kind of glared at me.. made me laugh and as they'll mimick you occasionally i mimicked his glare... only for him to jump at the glass and frighten the **** out of me!

he / she got the last laugh. Followed shortly by my OH and eldest! lol
Not something i'll follow if we end up with a pet monkey!

they don't get the nickname cheeky for nothing!

The most amazing monkey related thing i saw was a display in the natural history museum in london some years ago (about 3 or 4). They had a display just pictures of monkeys faces (chimps) wiht name, age and some brief history. They were truly amazing the fact that like us they were unique and you could really see their eyes, happy, sad, whatever.. their expression said so much. Something i hadn't really taken into account when i'd watched them. They also ranged from babies up to definate OAP status. it touched me emotionally i must admit.
