They are trainable like a dog - we have had two - the microwave fiend also blotted his copy book the old boy decided to bring 20 discarded chooks from the nearby poultry farm to end their days picking around in the orchard - day three four were dead with bite marks to the neck - old boy blamed the next door neighbours foxie -a few days later more were killed - so over to the neighbours he goes to discuss the foxie - wasn’t well received - one of the boys just happened to be out in the orchard and saw Ash come off a low branch and killing the chook with one bite to the neck - he was so strong - needless to say the chook experiment ceased
The other one was a female - she ended up being called Monkey as she moved vertically like a monkey and she chattered - we moved from the orchard to a lovely rural block wth a huge pond stocked with huge fish - she decided one day when she was left to her own devices that the many of the fish should be caught and displayed on the carpet - unfortunately rescue came too late .She loved to swim in the swimming pool - could catch a ball in flight and bring it back -
I also had a Manx - he came to Oz wth us - very different to an Aby
