lewis11 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi all, I am 13 and I spend all my spare time keepering on a social/friendly shoot. we have a pair of canada geese which come to the shoots fishing lakes every year. most years they loose 5 out of about 7 goslings. this year we managed to keep 6 out of 7. One of the parents died/was killed last week. (the farmer suspects it was boys with fishing hooks who came to tell him one had died). Today, i was at my family stable yard which is opposite the shoot land. I walked into the field to find all the surviving geese grazing in the grass fields. we managed to herd them back to the shoot lakes after about 2 hours. The lakes are surrounded by grass and the geese are fed daily. I was wondering why they would go all the way along a track and across a main road to get to grass when there is grass/food by the lakes. If anyone has any advice as to why they would do this it would be much appreciated if you could post your thoughts. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
