Great! I love geese. (: Now you should add an embden goose. My embden would be very proud to wear a bib with an embden on it.. xP they are beautiful geese with blue eyes, some of the biggest geese, and can reach 26 pounds. http://www.wellwood.com.au/images/geese3a.jpg that's a good picture of some embdens. Very cute
