A Gaggle of Feathers and Fears | 16 мая 2022 года, 20:05

This geese family is always near the pond so the goslings have been growing before my eyes. We see each other several times a day. Yuki and I keep our distance because we have already learned (a few times) that the geese act rather aggressively to protect their young if they feel the goslings are threatened. I never thought the birds may be so courageous and even fearless. They are always together. It’s so cute;)

By the way, there are a bunch of (likely) new English nouns for you: the collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge; when flying close together, they are called a plump. But to be frank I have never heard any of these words from anyone.
