Canada goose crèche in Stanley Park

51 kids and counting

Lost Lagoon’s Canada geese have posse’d up to form a MEGA FLOCK. I counted 51 fuzzy goslings under the watchful beady eyes of a few adults. Turns out this isn’t uncommon behaviour among geese. A group of goslings raised together is called a crèche (French for daycare) or a gang brood (which sounds more badass).
