Geese filling their pool with rocks?!

[Miss Lydia]

I was sitting watching my 2 this morning, my gander doesn't do these things maybe because he was raised with ducks I don't know but Missy my goose was chewing on the shingles on their feeder house, I picked up some gravel and started tossing them at her behind till one touched her and of course she didn't know where it came from, but it did get her away from the shingles. She is always nibbling on something.

Lately mine have been "helping" me feed the horses. They come into the garage and Marina starts pulling bits of hay out of the end bales and dropping them on the floor. The alfalfa is on the end closest to the door and its a little pokey so she pulls a little from each bale until she gets to the orchard grass, which is nice and soft. They she stands there and pulls and pulls and pulls until she has quite a pile. Greta stands watch and makes sure no one is coming. Apparently I dont count.

I don't have pictures of the geese's parrot toys, dog toys, or children's piano, but here are a few pictures of them playing with their other toys. The adult geese only get very durable toys. Some of the toys they had as goslings are not suitable for them as adults.

Gosling Sebastian with a baby toy.


Gosling Sebastian with another baby toy.


Ducklings Cooper and Tater looking at themselves in a mirror.


Sebastian and Gizmo splashing around in their kiddie pool.


Chickens in their run. They have children's extra large wooden beads, dog toys, a tamborine, and chicken feed bells hanging from ropes. Not pictured is something that holds food from a bungee cord suspended from the ceiling and a baby toy xylophone.
