Thread: gooses

right o,spent yesterday paintin up my parrie decoys-got 6pairs .me old sillos were dragged out -built in my 1st season of my rejuvenated career 3mlMDF(got for $1.00a sheet) and i must say age aside theyve weathered well.not even a bloody pellet hole in em!
this am undertook what ive be meaning to do for ages .
since the earthquakes in CHC denude the eatern side of suburban chc and with it being left to return to scrub -messrs canada and parrie moved in enmasse .last few year estuary ,lower avon and b romley shit ponds resembed benidorm at height pommy holiday season.the bastards were everywhere .you had to stop the car as mobs shuffled across the road _i kid you not!
hmmm today -opp hire building on poopond rd(cant think of its correct name)-huge paddock of brown top grass -geese at ellesmere think thats maccas and theyll knock it off faster than you can blink. seen 2adult 5-6 gosling canadas.
pooponds -couple mobs of canadas 10-15 birds in each -thats not unreasonable year round actually .
made my way to lower avon oppavondal golf club-3mobs of 30+birdas in each -noticeable CCC has weedcutter working this strectch of river and i watche juvenile canadas going arse up like dabbling ducks emerging with gobs full of weed.a few marue birds amongst them but majority look 1-2yr old.
I drove firther along toawrd city wwhere previouslt there had been major mobs of geese/parrie in the river and along the banks -hmmm not a bloody bird.
mallards tyeah -they'd park in ya dunny if it meant a feed but messr parrie where art thou ma wee cherie.
my guts is long overdue for a nice need of organic parrie or canada goose breast and it is not a tolerant nor patient master.
