My new friend Tonya German invited me out to her parents house where they have chickens. After a bon fire, me getting to meet Sam (her three year old daughter), and going on a awesome golf cart muddin trip I pet a chicken. I was asked if i wanted to hold it but uggghh. So I got over my fear of birds. It has really soft feathers. I held Rudy which is Tonyas pet bird. Very big accomplishment.
Sam her daughter that helped me get over this fear. http://www.flickr.com/photos/75246903@N03/6893428627/
