Look at this! What was this old sacred bird staring at so intently?
"Harry" our local wild Egyptian goose spends most of his time alone lately, as mom "Sally" is either out shopping for food, or she spends her time with the hidden babies.
There has been some serious fights here lately between Harry and other geese that want to move into the territory, but our old soldier Harry keeps them all at bay!
Let me show you real love and anticipation!
Wow! This is what Harry saw coming in from a long way off!
Sally landed safely and Harry started his greeting song to her!
Look at this! Would you greet your loved ones like this when they come home from work? 🤣
Here Sally was happily telling Harry that the children were okay and she was also complaining about wearing a mask in the shopping queues 😷
Just like times of old they sat together cleaning themselves and showing true companionship!
Some more information at the link below;
"The Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a member of the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley. Egyptian geese were considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians, and appeared in much of their artwork. Because of their popularity chiefly as an ornamental bird, escapees are common and feral populations have become established in Western Europe, the United States, and New Zealand".
