That's funny you mention your nephews and the rooster. When I was a wee lad 
my grandfather had a flock of geese one year and they were about as tall as 
I was. They wouldn't sneak up on you, but sometimes you turned a corner and 
they were there and always ornery. The only good thing was the goose we ate 
at thanksgiving.
