Three geese and some quail
My mom and dad live on a small farm and have always raised different animals. I was visiting recently and snapped a few shots of some of the birds.... The first are Chinese Geese. The Chinese Goose is a breed of domesticated goose descended from the wild Swan Goose. Chinese geese differ from the wild birds in much larger size, and in having an often strongly developed basal knob on the upper side of the bill. (according to Wikipedia)
The last photo here is of some domesticated quail. In the front is a male Bob White Quail. A few female ones can be seen with the brown heads in the photo as well. This particular quail is called the Northern Bobwhite. Not really sure why 'Northern', but I guess Texas is North of some places in the world.
cheers,
BD
