Captain Bly, an alpaca sire, sings to the ladies before making love to them.
Not exactly Barry White, but something called orgling, a soft, guttural sound that puts the female of the species, um, in the mood.
Laura Lee is the owner of Buckeye Country Alpacas in Granville and a co-owner of Captain Bly. She was one of hundreds of alpaca farmers in attendance yesterday at the Ohio Alpaca Breeders Association's annual AlpacaFest at the state fairgrounds.
"Oh, alpacas do have distinct personalities," said Lee, formerly of Upper Arlington. "Some are shy; some are curious; some are downright flirts. You should see them flirt with themselves in a mirror. I've only seen the girls do that. It must be a female thing."
