Hi Lanny, You are of course aware that the so called "Egyptian Goose" is actually a hybrid duck/goose - Shelduck. The Duck root of the hybrid is the Purpulorum ductoris and the Goose component is the Gooseulus Purpulata. These are rare and exotic species originating on the steppes of central Asia. The original DNA profile was carried into North America on the hind legs of the Booshu bird circa 1937.
Here's a poem for you, Elaine. It was printed in the Reporter a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteWALKING BY THE VILLAGE CANALS
I like to see the pretty birds
Along my morning walk.
"Look at that heron, poised so still
In the water by the rock."
"A great blue, I am sure," said I
To Martha on my right.
But she said, "That's a branch you see.
What is it with your sight?"
A short while later 'gainst the sky,
"An eagle!" I opined.
But Martha said, "No, that's a plane.
Too bad you are so blind."
We walked some more, I thought I saw
A purple gallinule.
"A colored bottle," Martha said,
"A cinch you are to fool."
I've thought about this several times,
Should I take the occasion
To buy new glasses or should I
Keep my imagination?

HIND legs? Are you saying that the celebrated Booshu bird was a quadruped?
