Goosey goosey gander

Not for me! I’m with the herd.

A goose has made the Hereford wastewater treatment plant in Texas its home. Now what’s special about that you may ask. The goose, abandoned two years ago, is hanging out with a herd of goats. He doesn’t seem to want to leave the herd. “Just as soon as he came here he started running around with them,” says Gilde Flores, the plant supervisor. Workers have tried to put the goose out on the ponds with other waterfowl, but it hasn’t worked and the goose just keeps going back to the goats. The goose eats what the goats eat and does not even try to swim or fly.
