Amazing Geese tell me how yours made your day today!

[FoodFreedomNow]

I only have 2 and they have been with me for close to 15 yrs now, I cannot imagine walking outside and not being greeted by my geese. Oh yes they can be a pain in the Butt during breeding season. But watching the close bond they have with each other and how they know me as their keeper and friend means so much.

You have some amazingly long-lived birds! It must be, at least in part, all the TLC you provide.

I just know I am blessed to let them live as close to normal life as possible. They have a little over half acre to play on maybe that has something to do with it. Good food, plenty of space and Love which I give them all.

Miss Lidia you were always one of my go to's in threads when I first joined BYC with just runners. I have seen your love for the birds in many threads. Thank you for all you have done for folks along the way!

Me too!

One of the first super long threads I read on here was about a lady who rescued a few pekins and built a duck ark in her front yard. The thread went on and on and on, and sweet @Miss Lydia was right there, helping the whole time. I need to see if I can find that thread

Aha!

Love seeing all these stories <3 my favorite thing happening right now is whenever the ducks try to top each other in the pools, two of my younger geese will start hollering up a storm, run around flapping, then waddle up to me still chattering away like, can you believe what they're doing?!

Tattlers! They do like to "referee", don't they?

I don't have geese yet but have 6 Pilgrim Goslings ordered from show quality parents next spring. We have a slew of ducks already. Hoping I like the geese as much as I think I will like them. Still looking for some show quality Pomeranians LMBO
