This cute little American Buff Silly Goose is miss Olive. She isnt quite a year old yet. Right before christmas, her mate Gus goose gave his life protecting her from a coyote. He was such a good gander and is sorely missed.
I assume Olive will likely be coming of breeding age in the spring. Gus is the third companion she has lost. She is now my only goose. My question is this: if I were to purchase some goslings for her this spring, would she still be compelled to mother them in absence of a mate/flock?
She is such a sweet, mild mannered little lady and seeing her lonely breaks my heart. She only gets excited about her absolute favorite activity...you're going to laugh, but she absolutely loves walking me to the mailbox to check the mail in the afternoons (and helping me take my bin to the curb and back on garbage day!). Comes squaling across the yard at top speed if I try to do it without her or tell her it's time to check the mail! I want my sweet girl to be happy.
