Pac— cheers. They looked so cute today sitting on the bellpoll. I was standing literally a few centimetres away from them.
Sjoerd They can be cute depending on where they hang out. The pair that hang out here up on the high on the old phone wires also happens to be right over the trash bins . I will say their aim is usually right on the handle … ugh.. or on the other side where they hang out over the driveway usually gets the poor mailman’s windshield…
@Pacnorwest you should be thankful that they are not Canadian Geese !! Talk about a huge, huge, poop !! One got me AND my entire drivers door when I was in Upstate New York years ago
eww sounds like a dirty bird over drop… In fall the Canadian geese stop here in the field over night on their way south. Always loudly “honk honk” , as they take off & pass over the next morning , leaving a few calling cards behind. Same in reverse in spring.. flying in the “V” formation is always important to shield the lead birds from over exerting and changing lead birds constantly to reserve energy for the long flight ahead.
That's what my Aunt Phyllis told my Aunt Dotty when she was so upset that her sheets got pooped on while drying on the clothesline. It's good luck . I must say it was little consolation !!
