We
have always wanted a goose as part of our family. We love birds of
all kinds and have several in our family so we thought a waterfowl would
be awesome addition. We went to a place in South Dallas who had
goslings and thought it would be hard to pick. Well, it turns out that
Ferdinand picked us. All the others huddled together and he ran up to
us and wouldn't move. Ever since, he follows us everywhere... Even
into the shower! He is two weeks old in the bottom picture, enjoying his
personal pond.
He is adorable and now is honking up a storm. Geese take a lot of
attention and time and must be around you at all times... so he travels
with us, eats with us and sleeps with us. He wears a diaper (specially
made for geese) so there is no mess. He stares at the refrigerator for
minutes at a time when we are in the kitchen because we keep mustard
greens on the bottom shelf and he doesn't want to miss out on an
opportunity to grab some if we open it. That's the same dish in the top
picture, where he is nine weeks old, and as you can see, he seems to be
thinking - "I need a bigger pond!"
He will be a part of our family for many many years.
