It is a wonderful honor to have a tune written with your name on it.
My Critters and I thank you Jim!

Jim is a great resource for tunes on youtube! Check out his channel and have fun learning great tunes from fiddle4U

Ted was recorded at my house and that is why one of my critters, Rooster is on his shoulder. If you listen close, you will hear her chirp a couple of times. He is also playing my new MK whistle. http://www.mkwhistles.com

Critters that are pets:

Various call ducks that have lived with us over the years. The little yellow duckling is Lello. I give her credit here because she is lowest on the pecking order in the duck house so she should get top billing on youtube.

Rooster, the female cockatiel. She belongs to my husband, Jeff.

Beanie Boy, the parrotlet is my birdie.

Elizabeth Zurd, a leopard gecko that belongs to my son. Easiest pet to take care of, especially when he's off to college. This is her youtube debut

DeDe the mini Holland lop. She belongs to my other son but everyone loves her and Jeff takes the most care of her.

Kika the cat. The only non-exotic pet we've had. She lived to be 19.

The wild critters on this video represent only a small fraction of the animals seen on this property.
A crazy fox who wanted to eat my deck chair
Two baby deer who were fostered and released too close to people. They ended up getting moved to a more remote location.
Various wild deer families
Chipmonk
Grossbeak
Woodpeckers
Praying mantis.
Honeybees
and various other wild birdies like hummingbirds!

Watching this video and listening to the music was so much fun, what a pity that it's so short :D a great collaboration, really. I think... im going to watch it again right now.. and maybe again afterwards..

[Gingerjake2]

[svetlanalupesku]

Oh ... just beautiful. Delightful critters, family and critters, and beautifully put together ... a lovely collaboration not to forget the lovely jig by Jim. Fantastic.

[CVersailles]

That's a great vid! Love it!

[myjugsarehuge]

so cute, those humming birds are beautiful. I miss not having ducklings but we have a broody hen on eggs so fingers crossed new chicks soon. We just acquired an Indian Ring neck parakeet but she is a bit skittish, needs time to settle in I guess before I get the camera out

[dancingsprite]

definately a keeper all around :)

[rockybudgeboa]

I LOVE it.  Adorable!!!!!
