Default .....geese just love those orange cheesy cheese-its!

On an individual level with one single canada goose, it's possible to befriend that single neighborhood goose by feeding it a www.cheez-it.com. Cheez-its come in a number of flavors but I have only used the standard original flavor, and the cheez-it can be tossed for up to 25-yards, no kidding, just like a frisbee, plus a cheez-it will float, and its bright orange color makes it easy to see while floating on the water. According to the website, cheez-its are made with real cheese.

Tossing a small, light-weight cheez-it for 25-yards across the water, to deliver a bright orange snack to a goose probably seems like a very long tossing distance, but the cheez-it has strong aerodynamic design just like a frisbee, and with a little practice it will fly along for quite the distance. You will be surprised just how far, and how accurate a cheez-it will fly! .....plus they float atop the water too once it lands!

After maybe five continuous mornings of feeding one individual canada goose with cheez-its, you may want to buy a small bag of cracked corn from a grain store or pet store for about three dollars, and place the cracked corn on top of a dock or the rocky shoreline so the goose can eat it. Cracked corn does not float, it sinks, but it probably has more nutritional value for the goose than the cheez-its.

On Lake Winnipesaukee, from about April 20 to May 20, it is the male husband goose's job to go get some food and bring it back to wifey-mother goose who is sitting atop her brood of baby geese as they grow through their cycle of transforming from goose eggs to baby geese called goslings, and a brood can hold maybe 5-6-7-8 different yellow, hairy gosling babies.

Contrary to what you may think, the individual male canada goose that goes out each morning looking for food to take back to wifey-goose can exhibit facial expressions and sounds of emotion denoting excitement and happiness that it is getting its' job done by bringing home the cheez-its and cracked corn.

Life can be a little bit easier on Lake Winnipesaukee for the canada goose husband-wife team when befriended by a cheez-it tossing, frisbee style, human waterfront friend, and a cheez-it will definitely float so none get wasted as the goose will take its time to swim about and eat up all the floating cheez-its!

If you get to the where the one canada goose is eating cracked corn off your dock......just for a giggle.....maybe u-want to set out a flat wide plastic bowl of www.baltikabeer.com , a strong Russian beer with some cinnamon in it ....for a happy canada goose!
