Bigg, summer 2006
We've been friends with Bigg and his wife for two years. We named him BIGG because of his big beak and big appetite.
BIGG is also extremely aggressive and demanding, marching right up to us to be hand-fed. Mrs. Bigg is equally aggressive and demanding. They are a lovable, comical couple.
Last year, The BIGGS were power parents to a gang brood of about 30 or more goslings. This year, they are power parents yet again. I suppose you can say their names are appropriate because they have BIGG families as well.
We've never discovered The Biggs' nesting site.
This summer, The Biggs were a major headache for us, leading their family beyond the park, crossing busy streets at all hours of the day and night, in search of green grass to eat. It's not easy being a parent with so many hungry mouths to feed. Even though parent geese do not feed their children, they have to show their goslings sources of food and that's what The Biggs were trying to do.
The Biggs led their big gang brood pond-hopping in August. They returned to the park late in September and remained here two days after a late October snowstorm.
The Biggs were among the last geese to migrate for the south. The pond was beginning to freeze in a big way and they decided that enough was enough! They flew south with about 30 other geese November 2, 2006.
