My Canada Goose who we had for two years just flew away the other day. We clipped the wings last year and I was going to do it again soon. I hope he's okay and found some of his own.
Keep the wings clipped is my advise
I totally love our call duck pair. It's so cute the way the female quacks so loudly, she's really got attitude! The little boy just follows her everywhere. I"m hopeful for ducklings in the spring.
I feed my chickens all my eggshells and never have this problem. I think it's an instinct for them to eat eggshells, since they eat the eggshell after the chick hatches in much the same way that a cat eats the placenta. That's my theory at least.
I used to live in Joshua Tree many years ago. Would drive through Apple Valley now and then. Didn't Roy Rogers and Dale Evans have a big ranch out there?

With all due respect, this is inaccurate. You seem to be describing "fair use" law, which would not cover the kind of thing we're talking about here. And even "fair use" can be challenged, and has been successfully fought most of the time that it's been challenged.
hehe,,, ya dont...

Thanks for the ideas.
I don't think this is physical because she isn't doing it all the time. It's happened 3 times in perhaps 3 weeks, always when we've been gone all day. Otherwise she is going outdoors or using the litterbox. She appears vigorous and healthy in every other way...

That's what seems to happen. We were gone all day yesterday to the fair and didn't get back till late, and she was alone in the house. I'll have to make sure the dogs can get in from now on. She's a very affectionate kitty, really likes company. Her mother doesn't have anything to do...
