I went outside one day because a magpie was being really loud, and there's my cat, huddled on the steps, with two magpies over her. I looked around and we had nine birds of four different species. And they just kept coming.

Sadly, they went from six to five to four goslings, and now, not quite two months after I met them, they've gone from tiny fuzzballs to real geese with only a little bit of down left on their necks.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-41155908604425725512015-07-12T10:01:25.590-06:002015-07-12T10:01:25.590-06:00Great pictures of the whole episode.

I kept it overnight and looked out for the parents. I even put it back where it had fallen (in a box...because I couldn't find the nest) but Mama never came back. So I brought him to a Wildlife Sanctuary.

Tupperware with holes and cotton it said. Then put that bird inside and find a safe place near where you found it. Sure enough. As soon as I put the Tupperware in the branch, Mom came and took over. Cat lost on that one.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-41187360483175026412015-07-08T10:11:06.823-06:002015-07-08T10:11:06.823-06:00Some great shots, Shannon.
