Egyptian Geese - Capture and Release

Capture & release once more. This time Egyptian Geese with goslings. The Egyptian Goose (Alopochen Aegyptiaca) is a member of the family Anatidae, they were considered sacred by the Egyptians, , appearing in much of their artwork

Riverglades Estate in Jukskei Park contacted us to assist them. The trouble here was a protective mother chasing children away from the swimming pool that she now made her and her gosling's pond.
 
Capturing the female was fairly easy as was all the goslings except for one. This little guy was clever and kept diving underwater as soon as we got close. But in the end we were successful. The male was a totally different story, he kept flying away. Eventually we herded him into our boma and he was captured.

 

 

I'm glad to say that we have relocated them to our plot and they are currently in a big aviary until they get used to the area and being fed by us. Thereafter they will be let out and able to roam around freely.

 

 

The pool area at Riverglades Estate belongs to the residents once again.
