So delightful to meet you, King Ferdinand! Congratulations on being chosen Pet of the Day for Saturday, 21st January 2006! You are very handsome. Among all of the wonderful feathered beings who grace Planet Earth, I especially love geese, ducks and swans. Your folks are so lucky to have such a fine-feathered friend live with them.

Have a long, safe life; stay healthy, happy and treasured dear Ferdinand. You are very special indeed!
