🪿Feathered Friend Friday🪿

🪿Meet the Orinoco geese, these geese are strong flyers but will only fly when pushed to, swimming is not their best sport and they prefer to wade in shallow waters and wetlands.

🪿Orinoco Geese are near threatened, their population is declining due to hunting and habitat loss.

🪿Orinoco Geese are one of the few species of cavity nesting geese, utilizing hollow logs, elevated off the ground. On very rare occasions, they may nest on the ground. Breeding occurs in pairs, with a well-defended territory. Breeding season is February-April. A normal clutch size is 6-10 pale brown/cream eggs.

☀️Provide LOTS of shaded areas
☀️Make ice lollies buy freezing some of their favourite treats in a muffin tin or ice cube tray
☀️Add some ice cubes to their water to keep it cool throughout the day
☀️dust baths!
☀️Provide a shallow tub of water for the chickens to stand in to cool down

They come in a variety of colours, the most common coloring is the Silver Spangled, which is white with oval black feather tips. The Gold is a golden-red color, while the Gold Spangled has oval black feather tips. The Chamois Spangled is buff with white oval feather tips. There are also solid White, Black, and Blue varieties.
