bigfish1965 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I saw this bird tonite. It was huge. Almost swan sized...much bigger than a Canada Goose. The colours were exactly like a seagulls.. I looked through the Ducks Unlimited site and saw nothing close. Maybe some kind of hybrid?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish1965 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Because of the different bill, I was thinking snow/domestic cross. There should be no snow geese here this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 It is a domestic goose , looks like it has a lot of Greylag Goose in it, maybe something else, Heinz 57 of the goose world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Domestic and wild geese interbreed quite easily. Maybe a little Snow, a little Greylag, a little ?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 These guys interbreed with a Canada's , we've got a couple down at the mouth of Forty Mile Creek, then things really get interesting hence my former Heinz 57 comment http://www.flickr.com/groups/hybridbirds/d...57601783757808/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l2p Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 that thing has teeth!! saw a show on the dicovery channel about people altering fertilized chicken eggs by adding "dinosour" genes into the embreyo and they hatched a "chicken" with a long tail talons and teeth. kinda messed up in my opinion.
