Now, these ducks and geese/goose are fed all the time, and the geese especially have become rather aggressive in getting after their fair share of bread. There have been several times I've taken the boys there and had to chase away these nasty geese because they come out of the water, honking and HISSING for you to throw them bread.
Confession: I hate them.
I have vehement issues with birds in general, I think after an unfortunate chicken-pecking incident when I was 5 years old, and when birds get up in my face or in my kid's face hissing for some bread, well, BRING IT ON. Nasty birds. Ugh. I'd like to stomp on their disgusting feathery....ahem. Excuse me for getting carried away.
AJ has actually been bitten by one of these geese, but he still likes to go there, for reasons unknown. We all went to the duck pond on Saturday and fed the ducks some stale bread until the geese overthrew the ducks and charged upon the territory with their gnarly aggressive beaks and their horribly beady eyes, demanding bread and biting at the ducks to scare them away. Owen was throwing small pebbles at them, until they came up out of the water onto the land and then he beat it for the car, saying, "RUN! They're gonna get us...they'll bite choo!" and AJ quickly followed.
They crawled in the backseat and patiently waited for us to come as well.
Here they are....in all their nasty glory:
*shudder*

I've got a great idea for a family pet now.
What do you think about a parrot?
When is A.J.'s B-day?
very funny.
have you ever seen Dumb and Dumber??
"Pretty birdy....pretty birdy...."
No, never seen Dumb & Dumber. It's not quite the movie a future neurosurgeon would watch. Have to protect the mind ya know.
right. with all your gansta rap.
I think you lose brain cells every minute you listen to it.
:)
So I take it you listened to the CD?
Well... Did you like it?
And you USE your brain to figure out what the crap they're saying so freakin fast. So you don't lose brain cells.
I was going to ask you to expound on "The Chicken Pecking Incident," but I really don't want to get in the middle of an "my brains bigger than yours" gang fight :0)
amy - it's ok. I'm winning it anyway.
I was five.
The rooster was as big as me.
It was red.
It had beady evil eyes.
And an gold tooth.
I reached out to pet it's feathery head.
It pecked. Pecked. Pecked.
I can't talk about it anymore.
axshanana008@aol.com are you still using stn... ?
