Hi Amy, why don't you have at least the possibility here on Goodreads to contact you with a message? I hve something important to say to you abour A Love to stay for! Geese are herbivores!!!!! I had a good laugh at the goose with the too big fish, aas I have been keeping some myself and yes, they keep their heads under water to seek aquatic plants, but never fish, dear. You can reply to the email in my profile.

Amy DeMeritt Hello! I'm so sorry I didn't see your message sooner! Yes, geese are primarily herbivores, but as is the case with many herbivores, their diet can vary depending on the availability of their preferred food sources. Geese have been known to eat insects and small fish, and it's pretty common in my area. We have a lot of Canadian geese where I live - I like to sit on the riverbank and watch them and I've seen more than a few gobble up a fish and snap pestering dragonflies out of the air...lol. Our river is pretty polluted, so maybe that has something to do with it.
