Visitors In The Churchyard.

Peace has many visitors. But sometimes peace comes with a little chaos. ✌️

My church environment is a home for all kinds of life. Humans, birds, butterflies, moths, flowers and even animals.

The other day, I spotted some sheep wandering in the churchyard. At first, I thought they belonged to the church, but someone else said they're not. Turned out they came from a nearby compound, not too far from the church.

And they do this often. They come around to graze in the church garden and also do all the things sheep do when they’re in a flock. Play, fight and even mate. 😂

And here's the interesting part. There was a power tussle amongst the male sheep. Lol.

One of the male sheep, the biggest of them all with the round horn was everywhere. He moved like he owned the whole place, like the "king" of the flock or something. He wouldn’t let any of the other male sheep go near the females. Anyone who did got a warning with his horns, and there’d be this brief little fight.

Then he’d go right back to following the females around and also initiating mating in between. Such a drama king. 😂

I couldn't help but laugh at the funny scene playing out before me. It was just like a small picture of bigger human patterns. But it made me think. "When it comes to protecting their territory, all males are the same, even in the animal kingdom." LOLZ.
