One of the lambs is an ewe and the other two are rams. Traditionally in Iceland the first lambs of the season are called the &#8220;queens&#8221; and &#8220;kings&#8221; on each farm. Our queen was named Dilj\u00e1, in honour of the singer competing for Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest this spring. Flekka did a wonderful job, and the newly crowned queen and kings are all healthy and robust. The ram &#8220;J\u00f6kull&#8221; is their father, and he observed their birth with interest. Staff members at the zoo are excited to see more lambs in the sheep stall in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lambing season began at the zoo last Wednesday, the 10th of May when the ewe &#8220;Flekka&#8221; gave birth to three lambs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5315,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lambing season has begun at the Zoo - mu.is<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lambing season began at the zoo last Wednesday, when the ewe &quot;Flekka&quot; gave birth to three lambs.
