The rain from Teddy is going to start soon and my birds are acting nervous.  Flighty, if you will.  The turkeys have been acting weird (weirder) all morning and the ducks are muttering a lot with occasional outbursts.  My chickens and quail seem pretty oblivious.

I didn't have animals when Dorian hit last September so it's interesting to see.  Anyone else experience this?

I notice too that the cows get hungrier right before a storm.  They all come back down from the pasture and hang out waiting for their treat.  The guineas make a lot more noise.  I always wonder how they know.  I bet if we lived outside we might be more in tune with the weather too.
