Emu called Rod
An unusual character – Rod the emu and his girlfriend are very big attractions here at Lords House Farm – there aren’t many places in Lancashire where emus graze side by side with horses! The resident animals here have grown used to the sight of these long legged birds with comic faces and large eyes with eyelashes to die for. Although they may look quite fearful they are actually very friendly and love to peck at bright, shiny objects. Hide your jewellery ladies! |

Fallow Deer called Ash
Ash is a male Fallow Deer and lives in a huge paddock with five other Deer friends. He gets to play out all day but loves going to visit the guinea pigs and the parrots (he secretly steals the parrots food, hee hee!). He was born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in North Wales on the 19th June 2003, but unfortunately his mummy couldn’t keep him because he was a boy deer and I would cause trouble when he grew up by fighting with his dad. His favourite time is when the children go and visit him and take him peanuts. |
 |
Goat called Rosemary
Basil and Rosemary, the pygmy goats. were bred at Lords House Farm and live with their friend, Chanel, in the paddock next to the emu. They leap about like spring lambs doing acrobatics and love to jump on top of their big toys to play king of the castle! |

Llama called Diamond
Diamond arrived in August 2009 and gets lots of attention from everyone. She is quite a character and always wants to get in on the act.

Python called Archer
Archer the Python is 8 years old but is already about 5 feet long. She lives in a large glass tank that is specially heated for her, because as she is cold blooded, she needs extra heat to keep her body warm. Her relatives in the wild live in North and Central America where it is much warmer, and they spend most of their time sunbathing. Archer loves being a snake – her life involves sunbathing, eating, sunbathing and eating. She even gets lots of cuddles from her keepers and from all the other boys and girls that come to see her at Lords House Farm. |
