Papa Goose
Papa Goose: One Year, Seven Goslings, and the Flight of My Life | Michael Quetting
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Anyone who has ever loved will relate to this book as I did. I read it through the night, twice. Stacey OBrien, author of Wesley the Owl The charming true story of one mans journey to raise seven goslings in the name of science. In Papa Goose, Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslingsand the surprising things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning, with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations around the world. For the next eleven months, we follow the newly minted dad as he takes the goslings on daily swims in the lake, tracks them down when they go astray, and watches their personalities develop: feisty, churlish, and lovable. Packed with charm and humor, Papa Goose quickly draws us into the adventure as Gloria, Nemo, and the rest of the crew conquer land, water, and air.

A sweet book about a scientist who raises a family of geese in order to try and get weather and atmospheric information from their flight once they are grown. He gets attached to the goslings, frustrated with them, and in the end, lets them go. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2019/04/review-papa-goose-by-michael-quetting.h...
