Winslow Farms

The day before we flew home, we went to the Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary in Norton, MA.  Winslow Farm is dedicated to the "rescue and care of abandoned and mistreated animals".  They have something like 200 animals living at the farm many are birds (about 100) and have been rescued from abusive situations, saved from slaughter, found lost, or just needed a permanent place to live.

Ryan took these first 3 pictures.




Karolina, the alpaca

Orion, the white peacock.  This was an amazing bird to see.  It turns out that white peacocks are not albinos (as I thought), but the white peacock is a color variation of the Indian Blue Peacock.  He is one of 4 peacocks that live at the farm.

This peacock showed us his feathers down on the ground and then hoped up on the roof and had himself a nap!

One of the emu's

Ryan's favorite part -- the playground!
