3. strange-looking bird

Evolutionary anachronism

[bertha katzenengel]

4. Yes, perhaps.

we see them frequently here - the word "majestic" comes to mind, especially when they are in flight

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. A blue heron!

We have them in my neighborhood, too. They love the creeks and the drainage ponds...and they love koi and goldfish ponds, the stinkers. :D

[bertha katzenengel]

36. They like ponds w/ stock fish? Like, backyard ponds? Cooool...

We put out bird seed. We call it bait for the cats.

Now I'll put in a pond. We'll call it bait for Ichabod.

That's right. Ichabod Heron. ;)

39. A friend of mine ket losing koi to a blue heron visitor...

Finally, she made a hiding place for them by creating a ledge of rocks over one end of the pond. She hasn't seen him since.

I'd be tempted to feed him, myself.

2. Monkeys...

Muhwahahahaha! M.A.D.D. makes it's first move!

[YankeyMCC]

5. Is the criteria tastiness?

Because ducks are very tasty - but I've actually never had goose so it might not be fair to vote. ;)

[SteppingRazor]

6. Definitely ducks.

Geese are spiteful little bastards that make me want to reach for the birdshot.

[brentspeak]

7. No love for the geese.

Nobody ever likes geese, it seems.

[Richard Steele]

8. Geese have got a mean streak a mile wide. I vote ducks.

[skygazer]

9. Geese can be miserable critters

They'll bite and I've seen a flock of them chase a little kid (which admittedly was rather funny even though the kid in question was mine).

They also make a mess - goose shit is large and green and the consistency of paste. And they produce a LOT of it.

Personally, I prefer chickens.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. For taste, I'm totally about the duck.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. I'm an Emu Girl.

:hi:

[deucemagnet]

13. You dress in black and listen to depressing punk rock? n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. No, silly...

I dress in feathers and listen to Keith Urban. :eyes:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Emu? I think I'm misunderstanding you here...

:evilgrin:

[Maddy McCall]

12. I'm torn. I love both.

Ducks seem to be more skittish than geese.

[dropkickpa]

15. Ducks. Definitely.

I've been attacked by way too many geese to like them. I don't trust the look in their wee beady eyes.

[brentspeak]

16. Geese make a comeback!

Maybe I should have also included a "swan" category.

[Nicole]

26. Swans Yes!

My favorite of the three.

I voted for geese.

[BarenakedLady]

40. Yes, I would have voted for swans...

Close second (if we are just talking water birds), loons.
