This story happened a couple of months ago. It was so funny that I have not forgotten it and is just another great example of how intelligent ravens are and how much of a sense of humor George has for a bird.
We give George our left overs and food that is starting to go bad. We feed him any type of meats we have, it doesn't matter what it is. If it is starting to go bad we feed it to him. We also have experimented with George to see exactly what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat.
So far we have found that George will eat just about anything except the following, veggies, pork fried rice mostly. One of George's favorite meals are my pasta dishes. He loves meatballs, but he loves my spaghetti and this one dish of chicken alfredo that I made.
One day before going to work I was looking in my fridge to see what I could donate in feeding George. I had made some really yummy Chicken Alfredo with huge chucks of chicken in it. It was really good. But it had also been a couple of days so I decided that George could have it.
I brought it down to the farm and got ready to bring horses their medicine and do my usual routine. Deegan and I headed out the door and down to the barn. I put George's food on the roof like I always do, called him and went about my business. I then went back in the house took my spot in front of the window to observe and watch to see if George would eat the chicken alfredo.
It didn't take long for George to get there. The Geese got really noisy cause they are not to fond of George. George used to steal their eggs during the spring and summer.
Once George got on top of the roof. The big male goose that I have named Jerkoff of obvious reasons began to harass poor George. He was right underneath the angle of the roof, squawking and hissing like you wouldn't believe. George just picked up his eggs and went about his merry way.
Eventually after George had eaten his eggs and whatever goodies he wanted he decided it was time to check out the new goodies that I had set out for him. He would cock his head and take a real good look at. He would taste test a couple of noodles and then found the pieces of chicken.
Jerkoff was still right there underneath him, still hissing and squawking. George looked down at the goose and cocked his head. Apparently George thought maybe the goose wanted some of that yummy chicken alfredo cause George started swinging his beak around and tossing some down to the goose. The noodles I used were round. Each time George would swing his beak, the noodles would land on the ground or what was more funny they would land right on top of Jerkoff's head!!!! Plunk, Plunk, Plunk and Jerkoff's head would bounce each time one hit him. Then George would peak over the edge to see if the goose was eating it, But he seemed more amused than anything!!! It was so funny to watch George doing what he was doing. I didn't get video or photos. I wish I did. I couldn't stop laughing!!!! It reminded me of a cartoon!!!
George did end up eating all of the chicken alfredo and even eventually picked up the ones that he has tossed down to Jerkoff. Waste not, want not. So that is my funny George story. I wish you could have been there. You would no doubt still be laughing about it just like Kathy and I do everyday.
That is Jerkoff going after poor Deegan. Jerkoff is one of the meanest most aggresive geese that I have ever come in contact with. But I have been learning goose language so he is getting better to handle. Its all about body language and tail ruffling.
Thanks for stopping by George: The Old Silo Raven!! George and I appreciat it!
