What are guams? and I use to have guinea pigs as pets, they are a blast. I bet that was funny when they saw, you wouldn't you love to be able to video all of this.I can just imagine the dog doing a double-take!It reminded me of the other day, I was fixing a fence down in the marshy bit, and two cavies (guinea-pigs, they´re native here, live in the wild) were chuntering along, muttering to each other as they trotted along the fence...and then they discovered I was stood there...".STOP!!" They froze, looked, chuntered a bit more as if to say "OK, Bert, what now...giant ahead!" "Left turn, look sharp", and off they trotted through the fence on the other side, the only thing I could see was the grass moving as they marched on through. Animals are great.
I used to have a tom turkey that had a set-to with a guam here. I filmed it, and still laugh now when I see it.. One little chick today got separated from the chicken, and the guam was following it...it´s a smart chick, went over to the geese, the guams don´t mess with the geese...
As for the goslings....dear little things. They do diving acrobatics in their cat-litter-tray ´pool´, all of them together, they kick out so much water! Then they get bigger and learn that they can bully the other birds...until one bird´s had enough, and sends it packing, and then what a noise!! And dad comes along and sorts it all out. I´m often down there with my birds laughing out loud at their antics...can´t imagine not having them. And then there are the ducklings...so cute too!
I know what you mean about sitting and watching the flock it makes up for all the awful things going on in the world when you can spend time laughing at their antics. I bet those goslings are so much fun.
