One evening Mike was sitting by the river when he saw a mother goose with a large group of goslings. Mike was in wonder as all 16 children slipped under their mother’s protective wings as darkness fell.
Every night when he returned to the same location, he observed the brood expanding. According to his count, the same mother goose and her companion cared for up to 47 goslings.
What was even more amazing was that this kind mother goose also took care of gang broods or goslings from other houses. This occurs when the parents of patient geese care for other geese’s offspring while their buddies are away. The mother goose was stoic and serene, surrounded by 47 goslings, and the goslings slept in a great pile while their guardians watched over them.
Three primary family groupings have since been formed, but the mother goose and her companion are still raising 25 goslings and will do so until it’s time for them to migrate south.
Mike respects them for their exceptional maternal instincts and sensitivity.
