Swimming in the dam

Took Craig and his dad a while to shoo the geese and ducks into the dam for a swim. Once they get in, they are loving it, especially the ducks. Water lovers hang around longer in the water while the rest came out of the water to clean and dry themselves.

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??

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.
