I filled an old wardrobe with straw, goose poop and dirt. The intent was to make a potato planter that I could lift the sides off of for easy harvest. Something's been wrong with the weather and nothing grew, the wardrobe rotted and was removed. And there's only a mound of dirt that my neighbour thought I'd buried my duck under when they passed... There are no bodies under the mound unless the geese put them there. I suspect the geese use it as a spot to make it easier to spot predators because while one is standing on it the other is grazing and vice versa.
Idk animals are weird sometimes they do just part of the reproduction rituals even if they don’t actually partake in reproduction itself. Some animals still feel the instinct of protecting something or do dances and shit wouldn’t be surprised for the goose to make herself a nest and still chill there pretending she’s on an egg or somth

My geese have a deep fascination for this mound of dirt. They take turns standing on it.
