Thaddeus, Clarence, Iris and Monica are the names we’ve given to four geese that spend their days navigating the woods that surround our home. It’s not a natural environment for geese. One would assume they would prefer a more open space with thick, delicious green grass to eat and perhaps a pond to play and bathe in. But no. We once tried to re-home them in such a place and they would have none of it. They are content with the Wal-Mart kiddie pool made from blue plastic and the small over grazed areas of lawn around our house. They patrol the grounds like small dinosaurs, completely confident in their authority and look with disdain upon all others who must share their space.
observing and learning animal behavior is so fun! Thank you for sharing your insights. We love our wild geese who nibble our grass. We have about 80, until Spring when they leave to mate. Then they return to our land, once a farm (since 1902) still zoned agland and we are "re-wilding".
Part sentimental, and hilarious at the same time. Your style makes it's way into the reader's heart. Looking forward to more.
Aw, Monica sounds like such a gentle soul. Please give her a piece of apple for me☺️
