How cold is too cold and help identifying gender?
They should hopefully get better at it - they will stand on the back and bite the neck usually to keep the girls head out of the water, it will look very rough and worrying at first but it is very normal for them ❤️ and it depends, one of my girls laid her first clutch at around 9 months old... -
Help, my 1 yo male goose is suddenly acting dizzy. He is eating and drinking, but losing his balance and did fall a couple times. Though he still
Please update if he gets better! Something similar happened to my friend’s goose - suddenly he was falling and losing his balance, then one day he just couldn’t get up. Vet put him on antibiotics and later he passed - my friend found out that someone had been poisoning animals in the area and... -
Introducing geese
That’s lovely x yes he will be nervous at first but they like it when you sit down and let them approach you - and aww dandelion 🤣 -
How cold is too cold and help identifying gender?
Oh yes! Thank you for the vids! The two in the first video are definitely ganders judging from the honks - they both look like very friendly and sociable lovely ganders 😊 -
Introducing geese
Aww haha sounds like a gander! Make sure to socialise with him a lot so he trusts you and is gentle <3 he seems lovely either way -
Introducing geese
Aw she seems lovely - one of my girls also has a posture like that so she could still be a girl xx I just mentioned this on another post but a clear sign to tell is by her honk - let us know how their bonding goes! -
How cold is too cold and help identifying gender?
Do you mind giving some descriptions of the honks? That’s usually your best bet in identifying a gander to a goose! Girl geese have a deep “huh huh huh” honk, ganders are higher pitched and can have have a loud screech honk - though trying to describe it through text isn’t easy or too helpful... -
Broody Sebastopol not eating or drinking
How old is she? Is this her first ever lay? Mine went through the same thing, they’re not as great at managing themselves when it’s their first brood and opt to sit on the eggs all day. In my case I did scoot her off the eggs every day and she appreciated it as as soon as she was on her feet and... -
3 month old goslings still look quite small
Safe to say I didn’t go back to her 🥲 and yes I figured out they fly very well as Dora, the girl, flies very well 😅 we own quite a lot of land so we haven’t clipped her wings as she likes to do a bit of a fly but then freaks out when the rest don’t follow her so she comes right back 😅 the other... -
3 month old goslings still look quite small
See I’m just not sure.. I’m already quite upset as one was very weak when I got him 🥲 I was also confused when she said domestic greylag and asked what the parents looked like to which she told me to look up greylag geese.. admittedly at the time I was quite desperate to get some goslings as my... -
3 month old goslings still look quite small
I’m not sure they’d let me 😞 they’re more bonded to the geese than us and won’t let us pick them up now 🥲 I wonder if maybe it’s because they’ve developed their water feathers very quick and look a lot more streamlined than the usual fluffy gosling but I just can’t be sure.. -
3 month old goslings still look quite small
I don’t know if I’m just crazy but I got these 2 domestic greylag goslings at the end of may and they still look quite small to me? Compared to how large other goslings are at this size. Besides the size they both are very healthy and swim/run a lot every day -
Lost unwanted racing pigeon
Haha I was originally calling it a he but my friend said she thinks she might be a girl 🤣 and thank you for the advice! i know someone who offered to delivered me some feed for pigeons if we decide to keep her so food shouldn’t be an issue I don’t think. I’ve got loads of stuff for birds...- ElGoose

Found this lovely girl wandering around our house today, she was here all day and couldn’t fly much - she had contact info on her band but they do not want her so unsure on how to proceed.. the nearest pigeon rescue place has been denying new pigeons too as my friend had also found an unwanted...- ElGoose
