A giant pig which lives in a house has a new best friend - a hen which had to be moved indoors due to the avian flu 'flockdown'.<br /><br />Vietnamese potbellied pig Francisco, aged four, was bought as a micropig for a teenage girl's birthday but began to grow - so was taken in by animal-lover Morag Sangster.<br /><br />Morag, who runs Tribe Animal Sanctuary, in Carluke, Lanarkshire, lets him have the run of the house and along with four dogs.<br /><br />In November, she moved poorly chicken Alice indoors - and the hen and pig are now unlikely best friends.<br /><br />They like to eat the same kind of food and Alice is often giving Francisco a backscratch by standing on him and stretching her claws.<br /><br />Morag said: "There's a 'flockdown' because of bird flu - to stop it from spreading in the UK, people have been told to keep birds inside.<br /><br />"We take in hens from battery farms and they are often quite poorly.<br /><br />"Alice was really poorly, we took her into the conservatory as she was being bullied.<br /><br />"She's been in the conservatory ever since."<br /><br />Filmed on 11th February 2022
