Geese
Whoever said that geese do not have personalities, didn't know what in the world he/she was talking about!
My geese are so neat! Doc, my alpha, he will come over and climb in my lap, groom my hair, play with the buttons on my shirt and just generally chatter at me. :)
And I am starting to be able to tell apart the rest of my geese too, just by differences in their heads mainly. Some have more round heads, some have more square..
It is so neat to watch them every day. They wander around so cheerful and funny!
In the mornings when they go out, they all flap their wings as hard as they can and run across the field. Yesterday one of them even made it off the ground about half a foot! I nearly had a heart attack!
And whoever said they don't "put themselves up" at night has never spent any time around geese at all! All I have to do in the evenings is go outside and walk over towards their pen and they are inside before I am halfway there!
The other day I caught Doc, my alpha goose, grooming Bert, my white sheep.. I was totally flabbergasted by that!
It was really neat to watch though! First he groomed his side and then he reached up and groomed Bert's ear.. Now that in itself was an amazing feat cause Bert HATES to have his ears messed with. I was really surprised Bert stood still for that.
