“Look who’s back from her winter migration! Let me get a gander at you!”

Just goose to show you, Maia L. and Arne — they never forget a beak. Update: Elizabeth G. found a longer version of this video on YouTube. Thank you!
“You could knock me over with a feather!”
I love this. There’s also a longer version where she picks him up and they cuddle some more – so sweet!
Ooh, do you have a link to that? Or can you tell me the name of the website where you found it?
Hi Mike, sorry I missed your Q – I was off doing my taxes (bleargh) – thank you, Elizabeth G!
Lots of adorable today! And I hope the version with more cuddling can be found!
MOMMYYYY!! Opens wings and clasps MOM!! And people say animals don’t have feelinks!! Of course, they DOOOO!!
This is so adorable and just illustrates how sweet & affectionate birds (of all kinds) can be!!
I really wanna hug a goose now.
I’m guessing the goose must be imprinted on her? Because if a goose was running at me like that I’d be heading the opposite direction as fast as I could!
Happy birthday, Rachel!
That is over the top cute and sweet. I love how it lifts its head and flaps its wings in recognition – rather balletic – the best. Yes, a ton of great submissions today!
Just as sweet as the video of the chicken hugging her favorite little boy 🙂
Elizabeth G. found a longer video. Thank you!
Murray C. sent this to me just now. I think it’s an illustration of a young Mary Pickford rescuing a child from a pack of ravenous geese:
LOL! — and re vid, talk about getting ‘one’s feathers ruffled’ –but in a good way.
Thanks, Mike – it seemed germaine. The mother doesn’t seem concerned anyway!
I love that the goose has worn her special floofy-chiffon feathers for the occasion!
The pure joy of this video almost made the world’s troubles go away for a little while. I decided to subscribe after I watched it three times. Thank you, Mike, for giving us moments of sanity that keep us going in our fight to fix the world! Please never stop!
Such love. Pure joy. Mommy’ good boy indeed.
