Two panhandlers showed up at our lanai this morning looking for food.
They were most welcome--a male and female Nene (Hawaiian Goose)--looking for food. Their quiet honking alerted us and the only thing remotely resembling food was oyster crackers which they appreciated. They are remotely related to the Canada Goose but not as big.
They left and came back again in the afternoon and we found they also liked Purina Dry cat food.
They both had leg bands and there are only 2500 Nene Geese in the world. They are the most endangered goose in the world.
Question: Should we even have fed them?? They are obviously habituated to humans.
They are an incredibly beautiful bird and it was a joy to see them so close.
