Goslings are simply the cutest little balls of fluff. Adorable, aren’t they? Within a day of birth, goslings can walk and swim and pretty much eat whatever their parents do. They take their first flights around the age of eight weeks. Their nests, which are chosen by their mothers, are usually on dry ground near the water. A slight elevation of the nest provides the parents with a good view of their surroundings for security purposes.
