Looks like a beautiful place to live, looking at the river and your back yard I'd never think you lived suburban. Looks like a really nice place for waterfowl to live, only problem I see would be a pred. going after her and she not being able to fly. Do you have many preds in your area? I know Australia doesn't have preds like we do but you probably have some, I would really investigate letting some one come and take her to a place where their are other geese. Ask what do they do with them when the population needs to be thinned? I think some places here kill them when pop gets too large.Hi all and thanks for your comments...much appreciated- I think she was quite clever to pick us but now I'm definitely being biased!!
Wide shot hopefully of her bank...
Our otherwise very suburban street from the road!
I would very much like for her to stay, but I worry that perhaps it would be kinder to arrange for the local Uni (the only place within 10kms I can think of with free range geese around their ponds) to collect her so she can mate. I don't think we'd have much luck catching her ourselves!!
You're right their are actually loads of wood ducks, native hens, cockatoos and even cormorants keeping her company. One pair of ducks even have a dozen new born chicks -too cute!
