There’s something pretty special about watching friends experience the magic of Caillou’s Calling.

The joy on their faces as they interacted with the animals was such a gift for us to see!

Thank you for spending the day with us AND for the generous vegetable donations! It was fun sharing in the joy that makes Caillou’s Calling so special. ❤️

Our pigeons love story caught on camera! 🐦💕

Patches & Poppy are proud parents of 7 offspring, and their love gives us a little glimpse into our growing pigeon family.

Thanks to them, we’ve had the rare joy of actually seeing baby pigeons! Most people never get to see one because pigeons grow incredibly fast and stay in the nest until they’re almost full-grown.

Humans domesticated pigeons thousands of years ago, transporting them for food, messaging, and companionship. Those that escaped formed the populations we see in cities today.

Swipe through to see our pigeon family, and message us to visit soon.

Maverick & Scout have a great way to get your kids off screens…pick acorns! 🌰

Our animals LOVE acorns, and they’re packed with nutrition. So send the kids outside to start picking! Donate your acorns OR we’ll pay kids $10 for every 5-gallon bucket they bring us!

A little fresh air, a little spending money, and VERY happy animals! If you have a donation, just drop it off at the end of the driveway, 11N 489 Peplow Rd, Hampshire, IL. If your kids have a bucket to drop off, message us here 🌰
