We've all heard of sheepdogs, well here's Bella in her primary post as a birddog.
With a rookery in the trees just across a narrow road and both fox and badger sets beneath them, the dangers to small or lone birds are ever upresent. And just to top it off, sparrow hawks, red kites, kestrels and buzzards watch over our hillside from above.

The bird snuggling into her warmth here is a white rhea chick just 48 hours old.

These are my photos taken of my own dog and rhea chick.

Looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. Must be a dog. :-)

Well I was expecting to find a post about the rhea coin, but these have to be the cutest of animal pics! Am I right on thinking these grow into very big birds?

A rhea coin? Is there really such a thing? And yes. They grow into very big birds, like miniature ostriches. If you're really interested I had thought about doing a post...

Indeed there is. Not sure exactly what its about but you can read about it here. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@unbeaten/rhea-token-aims-to-protect-cryptocurrency-portfolios

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

Thats right. Buy him one for his birthday. Every rhea should have one. Ive upvoted your promise of a rhea post, so now you are committed to doing it.

Theres a better post written by @noticierobitcoin and their website is www.rheatoken.io/

Thanks. I will take a look. Sorry to have hijacked your bird's blog !

Bella looks so content with the chic.

Clever dog you have and the chick is cute. :-)
It will be interesting to see how it will grow.

Yes... I shall be posting about rhea soon, so you can see how they grow up.

So cute this animals

Yes. They are! Thanks for your vote and comment. And thanks for that resteem too. I see we have common interests, so Im following you.

Great photos! Bella looks like a big softie. But if I was a kite I think I'd look for another meal and not risk her being hawk friendly.
