Four goats brought to live temporarily in a city's suburbs are entertaining children and distracting them from phones and TVs, a charity has said.
Families and pupils on school trips have been meeting and feeding the goats, two of which are living in Barton Fields in Speedwell, Bristol, with another two in the gardens of St Aidan's Church in nearby St George.
The goats were introduced in the hopes of boosting wellbeing and uniting communities – under a project titled Goat Busters.
Rani Fernandez, from the Rethink Mental Illness charity, said: "Families have said because of the goats being here, children have come back out into the green space, reducing their time on screens."
Ms Fernandez said she had come up with the idea to bring the goats in after seeing the benefits brought to the community in Purdown, Bristol, by goats grazing scrubland.
