African Goose

Plumppossum, I saw this one at a Conservation area in Hanover Ontario a few yeas ago. never saw one before.

It is not true that only the females have that bump; I once had several ganders of this variety (African), and they all had the bump.

Janet, he really is the ugly duckling ( Goose). hugs back dear friend, Jim

Rob I tried to find out why its there but couldn't find a thing. Maybe he will eventually turn into a unicorn.

Yes it certainly is not a pretty bird, Jim, but most unusual. Thanks for showing us, hugs dear friend, Janet.

That's a really strange bump Jim:))

Dear Ginger , sorry your in the hospital , hoping you have a speedy recovery , See you when you get out. Hugs Jim.

Jo ,It was a bold goose , it knew I had some bread as I was giving some to the Canadian geese in the park, I hand fed it. Yes , jigidi is a learning experience. Love and hugs , Jim.

Eva , when I first saw this goose I thought something was wrong with it , but guess this is normal. I don't know why they have that bump. Jim

Great shot Jim. Am still at the hospital and spotted this one on my kindle. See you when I get out. Hugs. Ginger

Jim, I have not seen this one before, very strange looking, but interesting what we learn on Jigidi .
Will look up the links later.
Love and hugs Jo :-))

Zajímavé, vidím něco takového poprvé. Snad to husu nebolí.

Interestingly, I see something for the first time. Perhaps it does not hurt goose.

Thanks smllpkg, it's a strange looking goose.

A very nice close-up!
