ZOMG. Now I understand why the deer used to run in terror from my cat when I was growing up.

Doe 1: “Midge, did you hear a fawn?”
Doe 2: “You know, I swear I did. It came from over there.”
Doe 1: “Let’s go look. It was somewhere in these bush– AAAGH! WHAT IS THAT?”

I think my dad just melted into a puddle on the floor….

LOL….it freaked my cat out too! It kinda sounds like a cat (from a cat addict who’d never heard a deer before either). CUUUUUTTTEEE tho.

This fawn probably has a bunch of kittens and peacocks on it’s myspace.

Oh how great to hear the story behind the video!

Now I can listen to mom answering back, too.

I was surprised when my goat had babies and she called THEM when it was time to eat. I always assumed (in my unknowledgeble state) that the babies ate when they were hungry. But mom let them know when it was time and they came running!

I took that clip in Texas in mid August. We had just finished feeding the deer and passing out cattle cubes. The mothers ALWAYS call their babies to nurse after being fed. There were five fawns this year and sometimes they’d ALL be sounding off at the same time. The mother answering back is the lower pitched sound you hear about halfway through the clip.

lurkerT, I’ll keep a good thought for TK’s bro.

Thanks everybody for the support.

Oh, and as long as we’re putting bummer things here: we haven’t seen TK’s bro in several days. We’re hoping he’s been adopted for his unbelievable cuteness, rather than anything else.

Oh, LaurieC, I am so sorry about the lil’ guy… but at least he was warm and well-fed, and his mom and bros didn’t ever know what happened.

Dose things babees wear on their feets? I just remembered. They’re spelled bootees. There. That looks better.
