One Week Old.
Jun. 11th, 2018 09:27 amThe gosling is alive and thriving. She* has bonded to the humans, and even likes my hubby (an event unprecedented in gosling history).
I tried moving her into a bigger box yesterday, but it was an utter disaster. Unless she was sleeping she demanded human attention all day long. Before bed I switched her back into her cramped quarters and she settled down as calm as can be. We decided the little box equalled safe nest, while the larger box must have equalled fun new place to explore as long as the mammas were there to keep her safe.
This morning I decided to give her some outside time. I knew she wouldn't range far, and that way I wouldn't have to worry about her running off the towel and hurting herself slipping on the tile.

Plus it's so much easier to get good photos outside.
*We don't know the sex of the gosling, referring to her as a girl is just wishful thinking on my part.
