Have you ever watched goats leap with joy, made friends with a pony, or observed how geese carefully guard their territory? On the first floor of the Rural Curiosity Center, real farm animals are waiting for you \u2014 goats, ponies, rabbits, sheep, chickens, roosters, geese, quails, ducks, and turkeys. They are an essential part of everyday rural life and its rich diversity.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc11 Why are sheep such excellent \u201clawn mowers,\u201d and why do they love licking salt blocks?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc34 Did you know that ponies can sleep both standing up and lying down?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc13 How many pecking movements does a chicken make in a day to find food?<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd83 Can a turkey\u2019s gobble really be heard from more than one and a half kilometres away?<\/p>\n

Here you can discover how these animals are cared for, what they eat, and what products they provide for people. Come and listen, watch, and experience rural life up close \u2014 because we learn to understand animals best when we can truly look them in the eye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
