les gedge Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 To reply to chrispti comment "What noise do they make, canada or grey" Its just a dull thud, In all honesty it hard to say when they are in big flocks, they are usually mixed in with honkers. o/quote] i just like the fudd when they hit the ground.wait till my gang is let loose out of seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickt Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 another one who finds the truth offensive enough to go into denial. KW Just to get the record straight. I'm not trying to start an agreement with you on who is right or not. I would have been with you on this one if you could prove to us that the birds in question are indeed domestic and were taken on the ground around a pond and not in flight mixed with greylags. Domestic birds don't take in flight for miles on end, its also no illegal to shoot crossed birds. Its up to everyone's discretion to do so, Les chosen to do so, you did not, it doesn't mean its wrong if you do so does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 White geese or geese with a degree of white plumage do occur in greylag flocks, generally after outcrossing with domestic stock. Domestic geese are a domesticated version of the greylag goose (unless its a chinese goose then the original wild variant was a swan goose). I used to enjoy the sight of them but now realise they should be culled out as far as possible as they are contaminating the gene pool of the reintroduced greylags. Greylags should look like greylags and not like some mongrel snow goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
