Title: Bird guys -what is this?
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on February 07, 2018, 12:28:08 AM
What is this - an albino Canadian goose - a Snow Goose? I walk here all the time - first time I've seen this bird.

When there is snow on the road I can't do the sunrise rides....so, we do a forced march in the mornings. A few hundred ea. year.
Good for both of us.

Swan. Do not confuse swan with dog.

Absolutely.  It's commonly done, & the mistake can have consequences.
The swan is much less likely to piddle on your foot, but far more likely to bite you.

Swan. Do not confuse swan with dog.

So, this is not a swan. OK.

Yup, it's a swan.

In the UK, it's a curious fact that to eat a swan you have you apply for the Queen's permission first - because she 'owns' them all.

And as Crossbolt says, dogs and swans do not mix very well. I've seen dog owners moaning about the 'vicious' swans down at the park (the swans generally have eggs or young close by).

Personally, I find it quite amusing watching an adult swan going mental at folk walking their 4 legged turd machines.

It's a goose.  They'll eat your entire ranch and leave it covered in dung. They're a bloody nuisance! Shoot it and eat it.
