Goslings' First Flood Day.
Apr. 7th, 2014 03:47 pmThese were taken eight days ago on the first Flood day the goslings were big enough to experience. They didn't seem that interested in the deep water. They would follow a human into it, since their following instincts were still very strong, but they didn't try to swim in it, just walk. The ducks at the same age would have been zipping around swimming, and even diving underwater.
The goslings, however, given the choice, preferred to stay along the edges, getting a little wet, and drinking from the water, but mostly staying out of it.
Though some did like to lay in the very shallow bits.
Since the puppies and Arrow were inside for the sake of the goslings being out, we let the ducks out of the bird yard so they could enjoy the whole yard for flood day.
Ducks are creatures of habit and routine. Because it had been over a year since it was safe to let them explore during the daytime, H had to help me out by herding the ducks though the gate. While waiting for the ducks to get moving through the gate, I snapped this picture of our one remaining adult goose near his human and duck loves.
