Toys for the goose yard...

[Alaskan Dragonfly]

I've got the swimming pool, but what other "toys" will my geese enjoy?

 

[Alaskan]

All sorts of weeds. Yummy

They like sticks - preferably close to the pool, so they can drag them into the water and play with them.

Pebbles and construction sand is also a hit. They'll run around chewing and chasing a pebble, and they love digging holes in the sand.

My geese have spent hours and hours playing with plastic clogs in the pool. I got them a few kid's size clogs in bright colors, and they chew them, throw them, dip them and play tug-of-war.

All my geese have enjoyed velcro and shoe laces. I plan on installing a goose activity centre by the pool, hanging old leather sandals with velcro straps and shoes with sturdy shoe laces, so my new gosling can play with them.

These are some great ideas! Thank you!

I have dandelions blooming, and my Iris and Poppies are up! Spring is here even if the snow won't go away!!!

The goose girl I would not give them shoe strings because what if they try to eat it and it gets stuck in the gullet. Not a wise idea my dear.... Just my opinion.

Just to clarify: I'd never just leave shoestring lying around for them. You're so right, they gobble down anything, and string of any kind is a big no-no for any animal to eat. Even if it makes it through the gullet, it can tie up the intestines.

What I do is I use the heavy duty shoestring for my safety shoes, and I make sure one end is securely tied up to the shoe. This kind of shoestring has made it through many hours of "attack" from my two grown ganders; all they've managed to do is fray it a tiny bit.
