Absolutely, I’m a lifelong animal/bird lover.
My current avatar represents my love of mountain lions which are plentiful in my mountain/foothill zone here in the Sierras.
I have volunteered at a wildlife rescue, specializing in waterfowl rehab and have had just about everything known to man, from parrots to horses and all in between.
Currently I have one female Tortie point siamese and my beloved pair of white chinese geese, ” Marwyn & Sonora” who are 6 and 13 years old.
She is Marwyns second wife of 3 years after he lost his original mate of 10 years in 2008 due to chronic lameness that I treated for several years with a local avian vet.
Sonora was a domestic dumpee that was pulled out of a lake with a fish hook in her eye. She lost the eye but gets around just fine. She also has a bad hock and I give her Metacam daily with a syringe.
They are very spoiled geese, living in a custom enclosure of a horse corral wired off with weld wire, with a custom barn, stall mats, 2 swimming pools and his and hers beach umbrellas. lol
I have also landscaped their corral with smoke trees, bamboos and various potted plants along with a big oak tree for extra shade and haul in truck loads of soft sand to create a soft footing and beach like conditions. haha
I purchase organic dandelion greens for them and they get daily gourmet salads poolside along with an acre of lawn to graze.
They are my darlings!
The best kept geese in america I am certain. :-)
