I have a pond next to my house . . . and every year we get three mating pairs of those damned rat-birds. At one point the gosling count was 16 but it’s down to 13. They are cute, especially the goslings before getting the flight feathers, but . . . holy brother of Moses do they make a mess !!! I’ve got enough goose poo on the sidewalk that it could be used to rebuild the NYC world trade center. Ick.
LOL ain’t that the truth! If it wasn’t for that invention of clothing, it might still be with us. Instead “Molting” is lugging a bucket of sweaters into storage, and hauling out the shorts.
Damn, too big for juggling.
yeah, they’re rat-birds…but damn they’re cute!
And tasty! 😉
Weerd,

They look damned wierd about a week later, when the fluff starts falling out.
Rather glad we abandoned the whole “molting” thing in our evolution.
