Nice pic NM,
I used to work with Egyptian Geese a little bit (the geese in thread #3), they used to roam the african savanah during the summer and we would have to corner then and catch them in the winter (too cold) it was always an adventure and we wound up looking like idiots.
Sorry to hear about your shoulder, I know you maintain a few aquariums outside of your own, that is difficult also when you shoulder is injured. I was in a car accident last week and hurt my back and I have had to hire my brother to help me with the 6 tanks I maintain. Frustrating.
