The *Suchovy goose* (Slovak
: "Suchovská hus") is a breed of domestic goose
originating in Suchá nad Parnou
 in Slovakia
. The Suchovy goose was selected in 80th years of 20th century from locally present domestic geese. [1]
 [2]

The Suchovy goose is generally weighing between 6,5-7,5 kg (male) and 5,5-6,5 kilos (female). They become adult when 310–320 days old. They lay around 14-16 eggs. Egg weights 140 g. this breed of goose is supposed to be endangered ! But i like the odd colour on the gosling that looks 4 weeks old :/

I adore Tula! (dinosaur, parrot and goose in the same animal). I'd like to own this breed, but Tula are very expensive.

Genyornis newtoni — a giant ‘thunder bird’

Genyornis was a large flightless bird, considerably taller and heavier than the modern ostrich or emu. It had powerful legs and tiny wings, and probably most closely resembled its living relatives, ducks and geese. But instead of having webbed feet and a duckbill, Genyornis had large hoof-like claws on its toes and a big beak, with which it ate fruit and nuts, and perhaps small prey. Like modern birds, it had no teeth, but relied on gizzard stones to assist its digestion.
Genyornis lived in the dry grasslands and woodlands of southern and eastern Australia. Fossils have been found in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, especially on the surface of the dry Lake Callabonna. The bones of a number of birds have been found in one place, suggesting that they lived in flocks. Fossil eggs and footprints have also been found.
Genyornis was the last of the dromornithids, and was small compared to other species. This family of giant birds is known by a variety of names, including ‘thunder birds’, ‘demon ducks’ and ‘mihirungs’. Humans almost certainly lived alongside these birds, and some scientists think that hunting may have contributed to their extinction. Other scientists think the extinction of Australian megafauna was linked to the continent becoming drier during the last Ice Age.
