AWWWW Thanks so much Kayo for making my darling little Olivia her very own Wok Wok thread!! You know how much she enjoys them! I printed these off for her as she is ...finally......sleeping 102 fever today....dang preschool LOL! Thought I'd come up and check the board as this is the first chance I have had to even pee!

I already know what she is going to say...LOL as do we all! Wonderpets! it's Ming Ming the Wok Wok!

[CayoKay]

lol, y'all know the expression: "Like water off a duck's back" ??

well, I guess it works for GEESE too, eh?

see how the water beads up on their back feathers?

cool, huh?

I think I need to bring Olivia to Belize!

[CayoKay]

the children who visit here really like playing with my animal beebies.

here's one that won't go poo-poo all over Olivia's little shoes:



and the guinea pig babies will let kids hold them, and pet them.

the goslings, well, all THEY want is to be FED...

all day, it's "Gimme lettuce! Gimme cabbage!"

Ah gee whiz!! Arent they just the cutest little "gooselets"!!

Curley, Larry and Moe; love it!

I wondered how you would keep predators away since there are some not so nice critters there??

Also, do you get these guys by mail??

We lived next door to a game farm several years ago and they sent out boxes of "chicklets" all over the country. We would go get our mail and listen to peep peep peep!

[CayoKay]

nobody would DARE bother the goslings...

lol, see how CLOSE auntie and papa watch 'em?

in the middle goose pic above, that THING in the upper left-hand corner is a GOOSE breast.

man-oh-man, I had to be BRAVE to get that close!

lol, no, actually, I was on the porch, using the ZOOM lens... lol

and their mama - she doesn't even let the ducks and chickens near...

let alone the possums, skunks, agouti, coatimundi, and jaguarundi.

naw, we bought our three geese from a neighbor in Benque Viejo del Carmen, on the Guatemala border.

two Chinese Gray geese, and one Toulouse goose.

the Toulouse (Gwynneth) mated with the Chinese gander (Gandalf), and she laid 7 eggs in early February.

four of the eggs hatched... three in the incubator (Larry, Curly, & Mo) and one "naturally" under her mom, in a nest.

geese make GREAT guards for our property... they get LOUD when anyone comes in our gate.

and even LOUDER, now that there's babies to guard!



oh, and geese work a LOT cheaper than guard dogs...

lol, a handful of dried corn, and some lettuce, and they're good for the day, 'cause they get most of their food by foraging in da jungle.
