‘nanny’ Goose Takes 51 Ducklings For A Swim

[gregjrichards]

If you think looking after two or three kids is stressful enough, spare a thought for these over-worked parents.

Two Canada geese acted as day-care workers as they took an incredible army of 51 goslings for a dip in a lake in Leduc, Canada.

The adorable baby geese were seen huddled together with their nanny to follow her across the lake as a father goose kept watch.

The caring bird and her mate took over parental duties for first-time parents, giving the young chicks a better chance of survival.

It shows us that the goose mamas have better sense than many human moms - they let the experienced geese parents raise their young.
