Yeah-- for Canada geese, they sure seem to not be a fan of cold weather!

You're lucky the parents didn't go after you- when I played an Australian character at the Prospect Park Zoo I had to keep a Cape Barron Goose company and people would ask me the difference between a duck and a goose. I told them if they chased it it was probably a duck. If it chased them it was probably a goose.

I did love that goose, Lucy. She was a character. She preferred my bottle of chilled water to her own dish of water so she would sit next to me and cough cough cough as though she were just DYING of thirst, until I'd fill my bottle cap with water and give it to her.
