Can I Outsmart the Emus & Get Their Eggs Safely?

I love that Mary Carl feels comfortable in speaking her mind & letting y’all know she doesn’t want to be on the internet. So many of our teens don’t feel like they have that ability to speak up for themselves. It just shows y’all are great parents. ❤

Well said!

[@terryhenderson424]

​@@mrscoghillfarmMaryCarl is on a trajectory to bird research be it fully private for herself, a part of some type of research project, or as maybe even as a documenty videographer. We have seen enough of her to see a camera and lense set up that dwarfs her. Please, please, please encourage her to expand her assorted photography and videoing while she is living under the roof of mom and dad, probably has access to your equipment, and your expertise. If she takes the video or creates the slide show then writes the script, she can probably find someone to do the voice over. Skills wise, MaryCarl is probably capable of writing for an assortment of magazines from grocery store magazine rack fare to more technical periodicals. The periodical submission process is a whole learning curve unto itself which I would consider homeschooling assignment worthy. In the print world you dont even need to use your real name.

Would Nugget feel better with a pile of leaves, pine needle straw, small twigs, and maybe some hay near by the heating sight?

I truly respect marycarls wishes there are evils on the net just let her know how awesome we feel she is and with her smarts I'm sure she's gonna thrive

[@PamelaHostetter]

When you all are gone, Peach's becomes a guard pig. LOL

[@faithrada]

I truly think that is the dynamic. Catherine shouldn't take anything personally.. The Cog Hill guardians know when mom & dad are Off Premice and so naturally step up their efforts. I had a German Shepard that SEEMED like a total woos.. until someone came to the house when I was not home. I gained a newfound respect for that dog.

The colour of the emu eggs is just gorgeous.

[@eileenslusarczyk6256]

No need to apologize for Mary Carl not being on camera. She is at the age where we should accept her decisions. .You are doing the right thing in letting her decide to be on camera or not. That's being a good Mom & Dad! HUGS to your family!!!❤ Those eggs are huge!!!😗

[@sullysmom5050]

I love the friendship between you and Catherine. Trusting her with the Golden Nuggets is a big thing. Love how close you and Jason are to MC.

[@julieduree9210]

If Catherine can spend the time with a baby Emu,and let it live for awhile in the house like you people did. Big commitment with wonderful outcomes if she can do it. I think there will never be an Emu like Nugget,he’s one of a kind,but she could with every day work have a nice tame friend.

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Nugget is so proud of his and Goldie’s nest.

[@cheryldavidson-Godandguitars1]

I love how you take extract attention to your daughters love of birds. So glad you saw some new birds during migration. I can't wait for her to be older and travel farther for her bird encounters. At this age you just never know what they will do with their lives with this knowledge. She could be scientist, a lawyer or a doctor for birds. Birding is a good clean hobby.

[@siddie27]

Birding is truly a wonderful hobby-and Gulf islands are perfect to see migrants! If you haven't been, try to make Grand Isle, LA in the spring. In 4 trips, I added 16 species to my already long life list! 🥰

I'm glad you showed the emu eggs today because my neices are with me today for fall break and it just happens to be Nicole's birthday today and she was ticketed pink to see how big the eggs are. Best of luck to Katherine incubating these eggs. I pray she gets atleast 1 emu to hatch❤❤❤

[@kathleencarpentier3397]

My almost 13 yr old grandson also really does not like to be in pictures.

[@sherriecurry4962]

If Catherine discovers that some of the eggs are infertile as she candles them or weighs them I hope she becomes crafty. They can be blown out. They can be painted on, carved on using a dremal tool, or left their beautiful green color after being shellacked. We would display them on a little stand that consisted of a wood block that my husband cut a hole into. They were very popular.

Maybe MC will eventually be okay being on camera again someday, what a wonderful thing that you both honor her that way.
