When we first moved here our neighbours had geese. They were
intimidating enough to make my Bouvier des Flandres nervous.

There are some free range guinea fowl at the corner, a half mile down
the road. There are often four of them out walking around. They cross
the street but don't seem to range more than about 100 yards from the home.
