about 2 weeks ago the geese started molting, dropping their old, tattered feathers and bringing in the new!
interestingly, i noticed that the white geese, audo and china, started molting a full week before the africans, houdina and iza.
china’s new-growth wing feathers… see how white they are?
you can see how iza looks a little scraggly as she loses her old feathers.
i collected the wing feathers that they dropped and now have a collection of lovely goose feathers! the pure white new-growth feathers are amazing to see. everyday they get a little bit longer. china and audo sure look like fresh, new birds!
how large and lovely goose feathers are!
my feather collection: goose feathers on the left and rooster tail feathers on the right.
