Very cool!! I will have to watch it on the 9pm show.

When is the story airing? I hope I didn't miss it.

It aired yesterday at 5pm & 9pm. Fox actually did two different versions with the 9pm story being longer than the early show. It came out really well, but I cannot find a link to the website about it.

In other news, I had my avian sanctuary friend out yesterday and he was very pleased at the healing progress with my pair of bumblefoot adults.

I also showed him the grey adult boy with the weird gait and he too believes it is a hatching deformity. The next time I need to round the adults up (probably this weekend), I will pull him to take to the vet for an exam. In the meantime, my lame grey juvenile boy is not improving and we think it is either a fracture or sprain, not a foot issue. My vet is recommending I bring him in for xrays... which I will probably get done next week.

The story has aired twice so far. The second airing was really good much better than the first one

Just watched.. what an awesome piece!

 

[SummerChick]

Awesome indeed!! Got teary eyed when the geese were talking to you and I think, thanking you! I know they are happierand in better hands!

 

[Marty1876]

Oh Iian, thats so amazing!!! If this doesn't qualify you as a BYC Friend, I don't know what does. I think I'm going to go nominate you, and include the link. Or, maybe this makes you BYC SPIRIT???

Seriously, I think this is great, and I hope it make it easier to find some good homes for the ones that are left needing their "forever homes" too. It makes me glad I bought her eggs, and even got those extras, if this means those goslings have a much better opportunity. They get to be with the girls for 4H, trim the west side of our lawn, grow up with plenty of food and space and good care, and even make us some omlets when I don't feel like hatching anymore! (Just think of all the shipping money I'm going to save!!!)

Hows the donations vs. expenses goins?

Here is a link to the nominations page.......
