There is always plenty happening at Mt Tiger Llamas.
The first chick After a long gap - another bout of Covid, a broken finger and a trip to spend Christmas with family - we are finally settled home again. We came back to find two very broody hens and one has produced six very cute chicks. The other one is still...
The carrot weed is flowering prolifically. Unfortunately the llamas don’t rate it at all. Grass is good and I don’t mind a bit of sorrel I have been weeding in the bush and very impressed by how well the ferns are doing where I got rid of most of the mexican devil...
I just can’t believe what will grow here. Plenty of rain and warm days have produced an amazing display of flowers. The lilies have come up from bulbs almost overnight. I have been picking strawberries every day and finally got on top of the slugs and snails by hand...
Mornings are definitely the best time at Three Sisters. The llamas nearly always come and hang out with us on the deck, hoping for treats. Little Shiraz is doing well, he now has perfect banana ears. They were a bit floppy when he was little. We’re continuing to eat...

It must be summer. The weather is beautiful, sunny, still and mild. Everything is very lush after the rain. Spangles is very keen on mating at every opportunity and Echo is the chosen one at the moment. The hens don’t particularly enjoy Sunny’s attentions and have...
We came home, after celebrating Grandpa Tony’s life and spreading his ashes under a totara tree, to find a new cria. He is jet black with a white chin, very spindly legs and soooo silky. Somehow this seems like a very special birth after farewelling Tony. Welcome from...
After a very wet weekend we are all relishing a sunny afternoon. The hens like to sunbathe on the deck. So do the llamas. I can hardly keep up with eating what the garden is producing let alone deal with the weeds. Broad beans just starting to produce and wonderful...
Spangles is fascinated by the hens. He had his head in through their door. I don’t think the nesting hen was very impressed. Calendar pose!
