beach chick Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I was looking idly at the honeysuckle on the side of the house this weekend, just wondering why it only had berries high up when it had been covered in flowers earlier in the year... then Paris wandered over, stood next to me - and literally did a Harrier Jump Jet move to pick the berries off!!! SOOO funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I have a plant on a pedestal in the garden - they girls love to jump for the overhanging flowers. It's soo funny to watch them even if the plant is a bit sparce!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My Bobbi chicken has started jumping up on the wheely bin, then up on the fence and onto the garage roof. We're a bit worried she has been watching chicken run!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOOO funny! I would hate to worry you, & I very well may be wrong, but I thought Honeysuckle berries were poisonous. Of course,hens generally avoind things that are bad for them, but it might be worth looking in to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My girls have spent the summer jumping for runner beans, raspberries and tomatoes and are now doing it for the blackberries. As you say, looks hilarious - specially when they land on top of one another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 We're a bit worried she has been watching chicken run!!! Mine jump to peck at overhanging branches which are rather low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
