Tony

In May 2018, MFS welcomed a new goose to our gaggle: Tony, a tufted roman goose. Tony was being raised as a companion animal, along with three other geese, in a private backyard. Unfortunately, one day after the geese were let outside, three of them were attacked and killed by a coyote. The family was understandably devastated by the loss but knew that they had to find a safer place where Tony could live—and where he could be part of a new goose family.

Tony is slowly finding his place in th MFS gaggle and can often be seen hanging out on our front lawn and splashing in our pools. He is still pretty shy around visitors, but he is slowly coming out of his shell, and he is a favorite among our volunteers due to his low-key demeanor. Also, many people think that the tuft of feathers on Tony's head looks just like a backwards-facing baseball cap, but that is typical of his breed!
