This metaphor perfectly describes Diamond’s position in the hierarchy of geese here.
To recap, Diamond and Woodroffe are our two Sebastopol geese. Here they are together. Diamond is on the left and Woody is on the right and has that distinguishing ‘freckle’ on his forehead.
This is what they looked like when we first got them. Woody was just a few days old, but Diamond was a couple of weeks old. Diamond is the one in the middle. (The goslings at the back and fore-front are Ola and Seli our Pilgrims.)
Well, due to the fact that Woodroffe was just a newborn, he and I imprinted on each other bigtime but Diamond was much more nervous so s/he and I didn’t establish the same sort of bond. So. lately, when Woody rushes up to me and Diamond stands back, I make more of an effort to give Diamond more attention. After all, I love them all equally!
Here is Diamond – elusive, enigmatic, enchanting. This post is for her, or him – I still don’t know!
A diamond in the rough.

Baby birds are probably my favorite baby animals.
Me too, except their vulnerability is a worry. I like it when they grow big and strong!
Are they called chicks? So darling, they look so innocent. I love you sharing your birds of feathered friends with us. Thanks!
Well the blog was all about birds to begin with and then it kind of evolved (as blogs do!)
Thanks Baro!
