I keep a flock of African geese here and I use the manure in my compost pile. Their winter manure is not as "hot", since they are eating only grain and no vegetation but can still burn.
Ditto for my peacocks and the peahens. The peafowl droppings are so hot that they kill anything that tries to grow along the edge of their enclosures.
I can till the manure from my sheep and goat directly into the soil in both growing areas, since it's not nearly as high in nitrogen as the others.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
