Washington, Mar 30 : Supermodel Claudia Schiffer has fulfilled her childhood dream of living in a farm by building up a collection of countryside animals and exotic pets.

The 38-year-old model keeps her pets at her country retreat in Suffolk, England.

Her farm contains three dogs, two sheep, four chickens, a pregnant pig, two black swans, four ducks, three tortoises and a parrot.

Schiffer compares her everyday routine to living in a "zoo".

"I always dreamed that one day I would like a farm with lots of animals, so I thought I'd get little amounts of each and find out how it works," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

Schiffer has made all possible arrangement to make the farm eco-friendly. She has installed an Austrian Wood-fired eco-boiler to heat the 17th century property. (ANI)
