Phil Prescott recently added a mother and baby giraffe to the zoo of rebar animals at his home on Blue Road in Monmouth. Prescott, a retired die maker for the Auburn Die Co., fabricated the animals from rods of steel. “It’s because I am completely bored of retirement,” Prescott said Sunday. “If I hadn’t retired, there wouldn’t be anything here.” A family of black bears, two Canada lynx, a blue heron, a cow, bull and baby moose all stand in Prescott’s yard. The 83-year-old Monmouth native said he has had a few offers to buy the animals. “But I won’t sell them; we like having them around,” Prescott said of himself and his wife of 65 years, Ruth.
