You can see that it is spring fever time. Everything is wandering and especially the geese. I'm constantly running outside to chase the geese away from the road. Last week they were on the other side of the road. I had to stop traffic to get them back home. I gave them all away to a friend who has a lovely country home. Thinking they would have the life. The friend wanted to transport them in a burlap bag. OMG! I can't even imagine getting one of those huge geese in a bag. I will instead keep chasing them off the road.
So many of my birds are sitting on eggs. I wait till they go eat and steal from their nest. This morning I tried to get a goose off her nest and was viciously attacked. I think we may have more geese. Unless I get someone to help. That same someone must not be afraid of the goats so they will get into the pen where the goose is nesting. Everyone is scared of the goats. They can be miserable but I consider them harmless. It is their foot long horn that intimidates.
We have had a pair of wild mallards for the last couple days. The male is limping and often lets his lady fly off but he is staying close to us and the food dish. They are very small and real do need a meal. That is funny thinking that something around here needs a meal considering everyone is so over fed and fat. That is okay every body is well and if the mallards hang around, we will fatten them up too.
