Why is the sound of a gaggle of honking and quacking so calming to me? It's not like I grew up around them or anything. I can't think of any logical reason why, but it's like the exact opposite effect of my misophonia triggers.
My grandparents used to have a couple dozen white and gray geese and a handful of Indian Runners. I thought nothing of walking among the geese as a wee one, but was scared to death of the sheep. As an adult I've been told that's backwards... /shrug.
No I think that's a reasonable way to feel about sheep. We lost one this year at the farm when two rams "rammed" too hard with one another. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.

Remember, if they're cold, you're cold. But they're not cold, so don't worry about it.

I wish we as humans also had the body type of a penguin it would be so damn comfy in the winter

Its ingrained. I cant find the post but basically birds making noise means you're safe. If its quiet there's likely a predator near by.

It provides the perfect ambience on the property. Things were so dull without them here!

I was told birds fly south for the winter. Now I'm questioning if birds are even real...

birds on farms are generally pinioned.

None of our guys are, when raising tiny call ducks I was at the start but found they are way more vulnerable to predators that way.
Luckily they are very food motivated so they never went too far from home
