Maybe a horny geese couple would taste better than undersexed ones. It can as well be a feminist experiment. <br /><br />Ah, I kid. :)KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794676685036206776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-35549835622896806262011-03-18T10:11:44.661-04:002011-03-18T10:11:44.661-04:00Oh, just catch one, chop its head off, dress and c...Oh, just catch one, chop its head off, dress and cook it.

They're going to get worse when the female is incubating the eggs. The male is going to declare all the area a no-go zone, thinking that everyone who walks by is coming to steal the eggs.
