Tiberius, showing off. Well, now it's obvious why he is called Ti-Chi! Such a gorgeous boy.Ti was (another story) a Smooth Headed Roman goose, 6 weeks older than Lizzie. Here they are just under 5 weeks and eleven weeks old - quite a difference between them.
Unfortunately, we only had him for 4 days, before the coyotes came and got them both, late one Sunday afternoon.
We had gone inside to get the ribs to put on the B-B-Q, and when we got out, just minutes later, they were gone - not a sign of them, just a few feathers on the ground where they had been sitting. Needless to say, we were devastated. I didn't know that coyotes could move that fast; they must have been lying in wait.
Since then we have called some fence companies for quotes on a very heavy duty electric fence. I am also having our friend Oliver, come and take a look at the pond. I'd like it dug deeper and wider, with a better pathway between the upper meadow and lower one. Then, next year, when breeding season comes around again, we shall get some more Geese, but by then we will "KNOW" that they are all safe.
