GOOSE WATCH 2024

It's been a busy day in the goosey world of our green roof! This morning, mama goose (aka Mildred) was off the nest hanging out with papa goose (aka Horace) near the solar panels. I assume she was getting a little snack and gathering energy to keep sitting on those eggs!

Later, in the early afternoon, SPL Graduate Intern Jenna got this video of Mildred checking on her eggs and then settling back down on her nest to keep them warm. There are at least seven eggs, which is one more than we initially thought! If I'm correct, we're on week four of egg incubation so we're expecting baby geese pretty soon! We can't wait to see those little goslings toddling around the roof! Exclamation point!

Stay tuned for more breaking goose news and read our first post about this year's geese here.

Geese with Swords

I’m entering this in an art contest. Gonna add color, just thought it would be funny to post. :)

Backstory:

So in our Latin text books, there’s this one story called ‘Manlius, The Gauls and the Geese’ but somehow every year someone translates ‘The Geese honked and woke Manlius up so he could beat up the Gauls’ to ‘Geese with Swords.’ So I’m entering this into the art contest. :)

This lady was watching me and my friend very intently as we walked past her nest

My brain: You have so many tight deadlines. So many things on your weekly schedule. So many important jobs. You have to get important work done!!!

look at this tiny tiny ancient depiction of a goose sheltering babies beneath her wings. 🥺

it's not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.

Greek, Late Archaic Period, about first half of 5th century B.C.

Most People: Ducks are so silly! Quack quack! Me: Anseriformes are one of the few groups of animals we know were probably present before and after the end-Cretaceous, meaning ducks are Survivors of Extraterrestrial Nuclear Winters, and we should all fear their power. Quack Quack.

I’m so glad the untitled goose game has a two player option, but wouldn’t it be delightful chaos with three or four?

Please remember not to feed geese and ducks bread. It not only doesn't have nutritional value for them, but it has too much protein and carbs. This can give them a condition called angel wing. This condition causes their wings to become deformed.

Instead, feed them:

Cracked corn

Peas

Uncooked rice or oats

Apples or bananas

Bird seed
