Turkeys, chickens and other birds
Grey Slate turkeys among them, a rare breed with a lot to say.
Pigs
Big, friendly and mostly asleep. You can feed them, but please drop the feed in the trough, not into a mouth.
The pigs are easy to find by ear. They are fed from the bags at reception, but not by hand. Tip the feed into their trough and step back. A pig's mouth is bigger than a child's hand.
On hot days they are in the wallow and on cold days they are in a pile in the straw. Either way, they are very good at being pigs.
Details being confirmed with the keepers

Wash your hands
After every animal, before every snack. The stations are by the paddocks and the picnic tables.
Also worth meeting
Black foxes
Silver-black foxes with their own big enclosure. The 4 o'clock feed is the talk people plan their day around.
Ferrets
Quick, nosy and funnier than they have any right to be. The ferret talk is at 2pm.
