crazychicknladyDid I remember to mention that H's Blue Runner Duck, Blue Moon, has decided that the boy goose, Wobbles, is the new love of her life?
She lays down near him and tries to get him to mate with her. She'll lay as flat as possible and hold very still as he tries to figure out how to make that work, seeing as he weighs about 15lbs and she is only about 4lbs. So far he has managed to be very careful, and I've only seen him step on her with one foot.
Proper goose on goose action (before his beloved Speedy was eaten by the neighbor's dogs) usually took place in a pool of water and involved him biting the feathers on the back of Speedy's head (the poor thing always had a bald spot by the end of spring) and climbing completely on her back.
So far, with Blue Moon, whenever Wobbles gets to the trying to find purchase on her feathers with his beak, she gives up on the whole affair and walks off.
