Where are Canadian Geese as pets illegal?
If they stay outside, the government or animal control can't tell they are yours. They are loving if they are raised from when they are very young. Be wary and protective of the young.
I'm not sure if it is illegal or not, but if they are roaming free outside by a pond and over 12 weeks old, just keep feeding them. If they are disabled, try to keep them indoors, for safety's sake.

Most large urban areas won't allow geese to be kept as pet. The noise and droppings pose a health hazard. You pretty much have to look at local by-laws to find out.
they look like chocolate, dont be fooled they most certainly dont taste the same :( as for the smell they are the worst smelling poo in the world (not even as bad as your dads) the next time you see a funny smelling round ball of chocolate dont think it has just gone a little bit off IT MUST BE GOOSE DROPPINGS!!!!!! hello
Our tongues are always wet because the moisture helps to stop friction when we use our mouths to talk and eat, our saliva glands pump saliva into our mouths all the time..
they are wet all the time, you have to swallow so your mouth doesnt overflow.
you will dribble like a baby haha if your tongue doesnt produce saliva your mouth will catch on fire and you will slwly melt to death.. hahahahahahahahaha.
Sea Cows (also known as Sirenia) are herbivores, and thus, they eat all aquatic plants, with variations depending on their environment.
What happens when the head goose gets tired?
When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
Can ducks or geese get frozen in a pond?
Yes, unfortunately this is exactly what happened to my rouen duck. I had a baby pool that was in their pen from summer, and had remained frozen all winter long. Yesterday, it must of thawed enough to allow him to wade, and I found him this a.m. frozen in a 1/2 inch of ice. So sad! I never saw this as a danger for them. Now, I have a solo duck. We had them for a year, and I really enjoyed watching the pair waddle and swim around together. So, my advise to anyone would be to keep all water/snow holding containers out of their pen until nicer weather.
In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female.
The noun for a male duck is drake; the noun for a female duck is hen or duck.
Where do Canadian geese start originally before they migrate?
They start from wherever they make their summer home.
Unfortunately, prices vary according to local market demands. The cost of shipping six geese (especially the type that are a-laying) from a "more economical market" may preclude THAT thought. Good luck, though!
A silly goose is a word to sort of make fun of someone by calling them funny
SILLY GOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

How do you care for an abandoned wild baby gosling?
Well done. Thank you for your compassion!
Taking care of mallard ducklings can be a big task. They eat chick starter usually, and you can keep them in a cardboard box or similar with a heat lamp or hot water bottle. They have smelly, messy droppings and like to make a mess with their water.

For legal purposes, yes a goose is considered a farm animal. It is a domesticated species that is raised specifically by and for humans. Common uses of geese include fattening for slaughter, harvest of the feathers for down-filled garments and blankets, as a watch animal for other birds such as chickens or ducks, and as a companion.
Where do Canadian geese go in summer?
Canadian geese move north in the late part of the summer. Canadian geese do not migrate during the winter months.
Wild ducklings eat mostly insects, algae and grain. Soggy bread and crackers aren't healthy for them. They will also like finely chopped strawberries and apple or romaine lettuce. Make sure it's small enough for them to swallow.
You can also buy chick or duck starter (non-medicated) or duck feed pellets that are small enough for them to eat.
Does a Canadian goose poop while flying?
Most animals who can fly eliminate waste whenever they feel the need to do so. If they are on the ground, they eliminate their waste where they are sitting-- in a yard, in the forest, etc. If they are flying, they eliminate it while they are in flight: you may have had a pigeon or a seagull mess on your car's windshield, for example. So, yes, a goose could certainly do this too.
What is the plural word for baby geese?
The possessive form of the plural noun ducks is ducks'.
Example: The ducks' pond is very busy during migration season.
It could be more, but 7 is the least amount you need to make a gaggle.
What are some adaptations of a goose?
I can only speak for Canadian Geese here, but they do not change their appearance. They experience a molt once a year, where they lose their feathers, but the feathers grow back with the same pattern. Once they lose their fur as goslings and get their adult feathers, that's their coloring for life.
Living things respond to the environment. Thus this is an example of the characteristic of the ability to respond to stimuli.
