There’s a bear in there, and a chair as well ― and four horses, more than a dozen chooks, two sausage dogs and a duo of cats, Bangers and Mash.
The Corbos’ Congupna farm has many parallels with Play School, with identical twins Charlotte and Penelope, 5, and brothers Hunter, 10 and Bentley, 8 ruling the roost
The Corbos made the move from Tatura last year to land on a larger property, which according to farm manager (mum) Katherine Ferguson was the right move for her energetic little farmers.
Of the more than 20 pets, the majority have been rescued from lives much less comfortable than the loving farm of the Corbos.
Although, in rehoming the pets, Katherine said she had never intended to have quite so many.
“We absolutely did not mean to,” she said with a laugh.
“But the kids all do pitch in by feeding the animals, collecting eggs, they all do their jobs.”
Suzy and Sammy Sausage, the two dachshunds, were given a second life from a puppy farm, and just about all the chickens were born elsewhere.
Each of the Corbo kids has their favourite pet, from Unicorn the chook to Skittle the horse.
Five-year-old Charlotte has an affinity for unicorns, so of course her favourite feathered friend is named after the horned creature.
“Unicorn is the best chook because I love her and she loves me,” she said.
Bentley’s favourite, however, is his four-legged meowing friend Mash, even if at times he’s hard to track down.
While the boys have stuck to the more traditional sports of soccer and cricket, Charlotte and Penelope have taken to horse riding.
Both tend to give their riding teacher a bit of trouble figuring out which of the identical twins is which, but each has earned an impressive array of ribbons.
When asked if any more pets were on the horizon, the family laughed in a knowing way ― and Bentley requested a few more chooks and a couple of fish.
