Canada Goose adopted and raised by Sandhill Cranes #18
"Can you see the vole that was given to me? Pretty gross but our parents say it is highly nutritious to us birds and I should eat it. I don't understand too much about proteins, fats and minerals but I do want to grow strong for our long flight south this fall.
So, I took the vole and shook it violently from side to side as I saw my parents do to them, double making sure it was no more living. And then I tried to eat it. As it turned out I couldn't possibly swallow it whole, and my blunt bill wasn't much of a use to rip mouth size pieces out of it either. Even though I am a pretty big bird now I needed help with that. Dad was right there, watching and seeing my struggles...and he helped me. I heard someone say "but you're a goose, geese don't eat voles" ... I don't know what they are talking about."
