Gander loves the sprinkler

Even the ducks love the sprinkler too!

The entire gang!

Zara, Zack and Zeva departure day

We went to Busso for Xmas reunion on boxing day(yesterday). Zara, Zack and Zeva came as well since they are pressies for Craig's mum.

I think they knew they were leaving yesterday as they had a sad face in the morning. 

It was difficult putting them into a box as Zack and Zeva had a bad experience when they were taken away from their parents. They were jumping out of the boxes and were protesting. Poor Zack was been stepped and sat on by Zara and Zeva. When we took Zack out of the box, he had poo all over him. We gave them an opening at the top of the box so they can stick their head out if they want. 

 Poor gosling were outcast when we place them with the remaining geese. We then learned that Zoey had passed away (suspect it was due to illness) :(

The gang(geese, chooks and ducks!!) We hope these babies of ours will not be taken away by the foxes and will have a great time with the open environment and the big dam. 

 

Craig was eager to check if  Zara, Zack and Zeva had get along well with the rest of the geese. He let the geese, ducks and chooks out into the lawn. Zena definitely remembers Craig as she was showing him much affection in her "questioning" manner. ( Me Me me me!!!). I think Zara was asking Craig why she's here instead of home as well. 

Look how big Zena has grown. She's not a pilgrim goose (so we got conned!!!) but a Saddle back breed. 

This is the other pilgrim goose Craig's mum got off a farm. 

Zena checking out Craig's pocket to see what's in there.......Hmmm Lettuce??

The gander that came from the farm. It has sparkling

 blue eyes.

The 2 pilgrim geese that came from the farm.

Look at Zena's big feet

Goslings - 6 weeks old

Zara, Zack and Zeva are getting bigger each day, not sure if the lettuce contributes to their fast growth. Very soon we'll have to bring them to Busso. They have started to make honking noises as well though they are not honking yet.

They love sitting by the door and on their carpet. One time Craig took the carpet away and when the gosling found out they are making heaps of noise to protest. They also love chewing our thongs/slippers.

This is Zara's favorite spot. If Zeva or Zack had taken her spot, she will kick a big fuss (like screaming her head off! ) until she gets her spot back. 

Zack and Zeva feeling sleepy

      Zeva (at the back) is a sleeping beauty...she's always the 1st among them to fall asleep.

Yes!! Zack and Zeva snores when they sleep!! it sound like a duck. turn your speakers up for this and be amazed!! Look how big they have grown as well. These gosling are 5 weeks old this week.

Zara, Zack and Zeva 1st bath

We let the gosling into the bath today and they are unsure of the water to start with but soon relax once we give them some lettuce (yes we are grooming the next bath of lettuce monsters!!)

A all gosling bath!

Watch Zena, Zoey, Zara, Zach and Zeva take turns to have a bath. Warning it's a long 6mins clip but it's definitely worth it. You can hear the ducks being very jealous in the back ground.

Welcome Zack and Zeva

Craig bought 2 more Pilgrim gosling back from a guy today to keep Zara company. These gosling are 3 weeks old, which will be around the same age as Zara.

They are taken away from their parents and were scared the whole day when we bought them back. Both gosling were sitting down the entire time. Lots of care and love were shown to them to let them know we will not harm them. We introduce Zara to them the next day and there seem to be a little anti social behavior going on but not for long.

Zena and Zoey chomping on watermelon

Zena and Zoey loves watermelon. today they are given a treat!

Baby Zara loves to chew

3 days after Zara is born she has started to show signs of loving to chew things.....in this case my finger.
She's very active too.

New Gosling is born!

One of the three goose eggs we had incubate hatched today!

And we named her Zara :)

the remaining 2 did not hatch so Zara is alone for the 1st 3 weeks. Good that she can hear Zena and Zoey around.
