Besides these, I am a organic farmer and in my farm I have several types of birds(Goose, Turkey, Guinea fowl, Ducks, domestic pigeons/doves and rabbits) we are calling the farm "Pith Moromo" which is a local language meaning all inclusive & sufficient farming. For example I use animal wastes in the farm as organic manure/fertilizer in the vegetables farm and also rabbit urine as pests control. In the farm we are also trying to introduce natural herbs/healing plants in the farm and so far we have aloe vera, mints, rosemary plants and Moringa Plants. I am also introducing fruits and so far we have bananas, passion fruit, pawpaw, avocados, orange and mangoes; both are still young and may mature in 5years time.
