As the owner of Gold Shaw Farm in Northern Vermont, Morgan Gold lives a pretty busy life. He and his wife Allison take care of 142 animals, including ducks, geese, chickens, cats, and a giant, fluffy white dog named Toby. But while the humans of the farm are going about their day, the animals are experiencing life from an entirely different perspective. In a bid to find out how his fluffy and feathered friends see the world, Gold decided to attach a tiny camera to them.

In various videos shared on Gold’s Instagram, you can watch different farm animals putter around the farm—but from their personal viewpoint. Gold mounted a small, lightweight camera onto one of his “crazy runner ducks,” who—staying true to its nickname—is captured hurrying through a field with its fellow ducks. At one point, the camera gets a little wet when the group goes for a swim in a pond, but when it dries off, you can catch a glimpse of the duck’s webbed feet when it looks down.

Gold also attached a camera to Pablo the barn cat, who saunters around the farm and even tries to steal the dog’s food. When the camera is mounted to Toby, the livestock guardian dog, the footage shows how he diligently follows Gold around, and makes sure the birds of the farm are safe. You can also see how a rooster named Alexander Hamilhen sees the world, as well as a single mom chicken who’s “raising two teenagers on her own.” And in one particularly adorable video, the mounted camera captured a tiny barn kitten exploring the farm—you even can hear it purring!

Check out the fascinating videos below and follow Gold on Instagram for more updates from the farm.
