These large geese are very impressive, especially during their mating rituals. They are monogamous and form extremely stable pair bonds for the rest of their lives, divorces are very rare.
The amorous pair on the photo above put on quiet a show after a mating took place. The male was very enthusiastic celebrating that the female chose him.
The male is very proud, he still continues to display how powerful he is.
It seemed that each bird celebrated their successful mating in its own way - the male with enthusiastic wing-flap while a female was preparing to bath.
Generally, life is good!
impressive difference in size between the two genres !
ReplyDeletePor la enorme diferencia de tamaños no me extraña que la hembra se quiera tomar un relax. Me encanta la última fotografía.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo y cuídate.
A tender approach.
ReplyDeleteLa vida sigue y esos acercamientos amorosos , hace que se renueve la especie.
