I've had a gander at a lot of Geese's Roses ....and Goosed so many times that I've lost count....
Geese also make excellent gaurd birds and can actually get quite violent and attack strangers that come near to where they live..... They also waddled about in such a musings ways and walk like they are drunk....lol
They are also very safety concious and Honk when you're in their way.....lol
Very cute honey. I have heard that a goose can be mean. You have to be on guard against them. Do they spit too? I hope to he** you smacked the crap outta anyone who "goosed' you. I understand in Italy that's how men "compliment" women. I'd deck 'em! My only consorting with a goose was Mother Goose. I remember years ago I had a book with Mother Goose rhymes in them? It was very long ago. I've enjoyed eating Duck a L'orange but I guess duck is not a goose. They walk wacky? Thank you for your reply NJ and Happy Wednesday! Yes I giggled as I read your reply! Good job. Again! ((hugs))
Cary Grant played Mother Goose in an old B/W film I'm sure you'd love Rosie.....
Having my arse patted can be a complement .....it just deepeneds on who does it and where it happenes....lol
Geese and Swans ,spit and hiss and beat their wings violently......I've heard they can break your arm with their wing beats as they are so powerful......I'm not sure if that true though...
Ducks are farmed in England......they are never given water as they crap in it .....they all have their bills burnt of with a red hot wire to stop them pecking themselves...... Chickens to have their beaks burnt off to stop them doing the same things....
That film sounds very familiar honey. I'm pretty sure I saw it. What movie was Cary Grant ever in that wasn't fabulous? I'm a hugger but I think if some stranger (male or female) patted my arse I'd swing automatically. Or I'd scream and make a huge scene. When the duck bills are burned does it hurt? Why would they peck themselves? Masochists? Suicidal? And chickens have beaks burnt off too? Good golly miss Molly that sounds horrendous. I'm gonna throw an OY VEY too. I had no idea. Thank you for your very informative if a bit sadly awful reply. Burning anything with or without a red hot wire seems gruesome to me. But a question occurs to me which I'm gonna ask! L(
Both Ducks and Chickens peck themselves and each other because of how they are kept when reared.....I think so many live such short point less lives that the do it from frustration....
In the Phillipines animals are treated far harsher .....To kill and dogs and cats they boil and then skin. them alive too....
Halal and Kosher Abattiors treat all animals/poultry with contempt any utter cruelty...... They are hung upside down and just have their throats slit and left do die in pain....
Why any of our governments let these thing continue is beyond me.....these evil creeps should have their throats slit to understand what it's like....
Plus it with rid the Government of worthless parisites that take these jobs just to make money and apear powerful to their mimmows
Oh say it ain't so! That is beyond cruel and awful. I thought the Kosher way to kill animals was supposed to be benign? Clearly I know zero about it. I saw a documentary years ago about seals being killed with bats. They're just beaten to death. Babies too. So basically humans are disgustingly evil and will be cruel at every opportunity when they can get away with it. SIGH. After zillions of years (slight exaggeration ) of being here on earth homo sapiens aren't very much to write home about or celebrate are they? Thank you for this informative and terribly sad response NJ. Definitely BAH HUMBUG! :(

The Norwiegians yearly go out on the the ice pack and cull white baby seals for their Peals/skin.....they use what looks like a thick baseball bat with a huge metal spike going through its end...... They club new born baby seal about the head to puntcure their brains and kill them without damaging their fur ..... They do it every year when the season opens.
The Norwiegians make most of worlds wood pulp for paper and things like babies nappies....they bleach the pulp to make it white .....that in turn effects babies bottoms when their wee reacts with it...
In Norway.....all bleached is banned and more so for making nappies...
Oh geez honey. That must be exactly what I saw. Oh my gosh I couldn't look then and it's playing in my mind's eye right now. I can't unsee that! You know a lot of important information NJ...things of which I have been totally unaware. Thanks for educating me. Now is there anything that will make me happy to know instead of so very sad? Anything? Thanks my friend! :) ((hugs))
Nice Jugs
