The original pair is still here, but the gander is lame (limps very badly). I feed him out of his own bowl, but he still likes to mix it up with the young geese at feeding time.
It is a fault of mine ... I love critters.
I love the Canada Geese too, but they are awfully messy and they can strip your field. Most people around here hate them and they go to all kinds of extremes to shoo them away. They don’t even make good hunting (IMHO) because they grow so fast that after about 8 weeks you can’t tell the difference between the young tender ones and the old tough ones.
If you detect a tinge of jealousy it is because I have never been able to attract them to my property at all. One year I even borrowed decoys from one of my husband’s hunting buddies and put them out in front of the house. The geese were NOT fooled. They just continued to fly over. LOL.
They used to congregate out in front of our manufacturing plant and mess up the sidewalk, but they never come any more. I promise that I did nothing to scare them away.
