Canadian geese parents&their3 children (in middle) - July 2024- burrell lake park- lower burrell pa 15068
Canadian Geese are underrated. Ppl think their poo 💩 is annoying,& they're in places they shouldn't be. Maybe the humans are in places they shouldn't be&they don't have toilets! They're the best parents&mate for life&doin better at both of those than most humans I know! #BirdOfDay #Underrated #Geese

Goldie the Finch before treatment &the day before her release- new kensington pa 15068 -.Sept 2024
Goldie was found in my mother in laws yard. I'm guessing she had a window collision bc I read their eyes can swell. She was also flying like a helicopter. After 5 days of rest at my home, getting good meals,&washing her eyes gently, she was ready to go home. #Finch #BirdOfDay #birds
