Another sweet story of the sam kind

My dog died of old age about 2 months ago and two day later a pidgeon arrived and move in on our terrace - thinking he was a tired racing pidgeon, I gave him to drink along with some cornflakes which he devoured and he stayed on and is now part of the family. He has become quite tame and though nothing like a dog, it is so comforting to have an animal presence. He now has a little "house" on the terrace which he loves and he seems pleased to see u every morning ! .

We live in St Julains - thank goodness he wasn't out flying somewhere when the barbaric shooting took place at Balluta !

Adorable and heart warming to see that there are more people who care about their pets these days! Keep your goose friend close Mr Mizzi, cause if he flies he ll be a gonner, and we don t want that for sure. Oh and politicians please note, the majority like seeing birds alive!

This is one of the interesting articles I ever read on The Times.
By means of this nice story one can feel and reflect upon the unconditional love that animals can offer.
They deserve much love and be respected by all of us.
How sweet!

SPEAKING OF OUR lame duck PARLAMENT, any law on the subject is like water of a duck`s back.
SO LETS duck THE SUBJECT, AFTER ALL THE quacks IN PARLAMENT, DON`T GIVE A hoot.

How cute!! There's something about a duck's waddle that makes it look so sweet.

A goose is not only a very good companion but also an ecellent "guard dog". A goose is very sensitive to sound and will wake up at the slightest intrusion. Ask the Romans that! they once saved Rome from an attack by the Gauls.

Probably, very soon, we will have a law regulating birds such as "ducks" . We are lucky that at the moment the parliament is totally at a hopeless stage, otherwise ducks would need to taken on a leash and probably have hundreds of bags ready as to prevent the duck from dirtying the streets. Microchipping will be obligatory as well. Needless to mention that ducks would be able only to swim outside the restricted swimming zone.

Prosit Times of Malta

what a lovely article. This reminds me of the film Fly away home.

Ducks have a sense which is called imprinting, they bond with the first living creature they see as they are born.

They are very attached and I am sure that this family will take care of it and give it all it needs. I felt so happy that there are so many nice people around who give such animals a great life amongst us.

Prosit well done.

Thanks Mr Mizzi for let us know, how we should treat birds, it is just heaven on earth when one see how people can be freinds with other creatures.

I think Gogo is very wise. He knows what will happen to him if he risks flying. BANG BANG.

Well done Gogo and its owner Ivan Mizzi. But a big well done also goes to ex-Times of Malta long-time photographer Frank Attard who has been retired for quite some time. Keep it up Frank , by shooting whatever comes in our line of fire, we won't do any harm, on the contrary we might be doing a good job like the one you did here.

how cute is that :) what a heart warming story - once again i confirm that an animals love (no matter the breed) is unconditional :)

Aquatic birds such as geese and ducks naturally imprint on the first living thing they see when they hatch and treat is as their mother. Perhaps that happened with this goose and its owner. Wish them happiness.
