No love in Tambacounda (or how I learned to love the squeaky toy goose sound)

I'm not going to lie to you. I was planning on writing about the goose today anyway, although it wasn't too much. See the goose has learned a new trick. It's a new honk that they have started to add on to their old honk. It sounds just like a really loud squeaky toy: eeeeeeeeeeeeh eeeeeeeeeh. They both do this in tandem. It's pretty funny, although I guess as with all goose honks, it's kind of loud and hard to get out of your head. But you know, in a good way.

The other goose entry today (I realize I talk way too much about animals but it's my locale, not me, I swear) is that I was downstairs making dessert for tonight and heard a weird honking sound. This is the sound that Mr. Raunce (Ultimate Uber-Goose we had in Indonesia) used to make while trying to get close (if you know what I mean) to Edith. So I rush out to look and instead of Sebastian givin' some lovin', they're at another goose fight!!! Unbelieveable. Give it up already. So they're both twirling around again biting each other's backs, this time trying to flap each others wings in each other face. I made a half-hearted attempt to get them to break it up, but they didn't listen. Then it ended abruptedly and Sebastian had a huge chunk of Moira's goose feathers in his mouth. He spit them out. Moira did the goose flap thing but again, I think it was a tie, especially since Sebastian had a lot of feathers in his mouth, which I would think could count as points, don't you? No love in Tambacounda. No love at all.

Goose Fight

Well Moira and Sebastian got into a goose fight today. I was petting Sebastian and Moira was starting to bite Sebastian, then he nipped her back and then they just started biting each other and trying to bite each other on the backs. And were going around in circles. I'm not sure what the point of trying to bite a goose on the back is... they made half hearted attempts to bite each others necks, but they both seemed more interested in biting backs. Anyway this went on for awhile with no apparent winner. Then they both flapped their wings really loudly and walked around. It was sort of cute, except.... well it was a goose fight. I think their fight was a tie because the winner goose usually gets to honk extra loud and walk around flapping his wings, while the other one does not flap their wings. Okay, well there's not too much else to the goose fight story. At least its comforting on one level to know that they even bite each other, not just me.
