Urban Jungle?? Goose eggs at work

[simplyputsi 0]

Yeah it's sappy, but I think it's pretty cool.
The other day we see one of the geese that frequent the pond/lake at the office building just chillin in the flower garden.
I just blow it off as one of the geese being bold again. They get pretty bold here. The next day however I'm looking out the window and notice something different where the goose was sitting.
Seems there be eggs there, 6 of them. Not a very secure spot to have layed them I think, but well, they should actually be pretty safe as there aren't really any predetors around here to get into them, I hope.

So here are some pics from the office window, zoomed in alot. Maybe I'll get some pics of the furballs when they hatch.

Cool - that's better than what I assumed this post was about . . .

I figured someone just hit you in the head with something.

Well I kind of doubt it, but the parents seem to be pretty far away. The office building I work in is very professional, cept for me, and so it's doubtful.

So far it looks like the AM is the time they spend away from the eggs, which I find odd.
The old office building I worked at had baby geese running around, but those dumb bastages were to bold and well most of those babies were run over playing in the street.

What's the writing on the eggs?

[simplyputsi 0]

I don't know, I saw that. I think it's just how the eggs look. I guess I could go down and get a picture close up. Those bastages will probably attack me though

I'm not a goose expert but I do work at a place with 5.5 million chickens. With that said, I'm pretty sure that they will be featherballs and not furballs.

As an alternative to taking pictures, fresh goose eggs can also make a tasty omelette.

Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

I know they don't have fur, it looks like they do when they first hatch though.

I was joking the other day and said I was going to go down there and get them and when someone asked what I was doing I would say "Hey don't you know, goose eggs are good eatin".

I'll eat them. I hate Canadian Geese. I'm not kidding, I freakin' HATE Canadian Geese. They're like annoying yippy dogs who honk instead of yip and they shit everywhere. Fuckers.

These geese aren't Canadian, their heads don't flop around

Does it make them residents of GA if they are staying here, thus no longer Canadian geese.

Do they have greencards? If not, you should call the INS while enjoying a goose egg omlete.

I knew you knew. That was just Jim's attempt at going for a cheap laugh or should I say cheep laugh. There is a reason that I don't try and make a living at comedy.

I never had an opinion until I spent 3 years living in Schaumburg IL.
After dealing with their shit on every horizontal surface, and being attacked by the assholes when biking or rollerblading, I now realize the only good goose, is a dead one.
Motorola once had to hire a contractor to come in and hose down their entire parking lot because it had become impossible for employees to avoid tracking goose shit into the buildings.

Ok, I went to see what was up with these as the goose has not been sitting on them all day. They do have writing on them. Bunch of numbers 0300008 or something. No it's not a date. So I dunno. I have no idea when they were written on, but I'm pretty sure if someone touched them the goose is gonna abandon them. I'd think they would be abandoned just because of the writing. WTF!!!

Just because a human touched them, she won't abandon them. They lay one egg a day until they get the size clutch they want then will sit on them all and incubate them as a group.

The numbers on the eggs I am not 100% sure of. Since they are protected under the federal migratory bird treaty, could be that they are being labeled by the fish and wildlife service or some other similar group.

Wives Tale. Touching a egg does NOT make the mother abandon it. That was a gimmick thought up to make kids feel bad about touching eggs. Unfortunately the kid believed it and then grew up.

Well, I've witnessed birds never return to the nest after their eggs were touched. Also, update on the eggs here. They have not been sat on since like last Thursday. I don't know if they can even survive without being sat on. I emailed the building manager to see what was up and did not get a response. Maybe I should have made some scrambled eggs after all

Hogwash. Look, the internet even says so.
