Is this a llama or a guanaco

Liz (Green) Dane said...

That is "Freckles" one of the llama's that, prior to Lalea's training, was just at the Rare Bird and Animal Farm for visitors to look at. Freckles was one of a total of six llamas that performed a spectacular liberty drill.

How nice of you to join our

Brigade of Buckles & to help

us with 1st hand information

Hopefully you can get pleasure

out of these historic images

As we all can gain an insight

into your family's operation

Chic Silber said...


I imagine you had opportunity

to work with & care for many

of the animals at your farm park

Aside from the obvious Queenie

which others were favorites

Do you keep any animals now

From a story I found about

your family's great endeavor

it's great to read your notes

to bring some of it to life

Many thanks Liz

From what I've read Liz you now

live about an hour & a half from

Fairlee so do you ever go back

to see the current state of it

Liz (Green) Dane said...

Yes, I go back to Fairlee often. Unfortunately, nothing is left of the "Farm" (i.e., The Rare Bird & Animal Farm) as we used to call it. All the out buildings, cages, animal pens, etc. are long gone. And our house (that was beautiful in it's day) is now a run down three apartment complex. So sad that a once thriving tourist attraction is now gone.
