MAN AND GOOSE MAKE UNUSUAL FRIENDSHIP

Two years ago, Mike Jivanjee spotted a tiny little gosling in a lake. The bird was alone, almost drowning, and at risk of being hit by a boat at any moment. So Mike did the right thing, wrapped up the gosling in a towel, and found her family about 100 yards away. But sadly the other geese made it clear that the tiny gosling wasn’t welcome.

Mike decided he would take the gosling home and care for her until she was fully grown, at which point he would release her into the wild. But the goose, who Mike named Kylie, had other plans. Every time Mike tried to let Kylie fly away, she just kept coming back. She wouldn’t leave him alone.

After constant attempts to set Kylie free, Mike realised that he had no other option but to accept his new friend. Kylie now follows him everywhere – to the shops, when he’s out on his boat, around the house.

‘Kylie’s personality is a lot like a person’s,’ says Mike. ‘She has her good days and bad days. She can do things she knows she is not supposed to. Like boarding other people’s boats, harassing neighbors or stealing things from them. She loves to steal small items like keys, wallets, flip flops and throw them in the lake.’

When they’re together (which is pretty much all the time), Mike and Kylie love to go to Starbucks and watch TV. Kylie loves all shows on the Discovery Channel. She’s also a huge fan of the Ellen Show and Animal Planet. Kylie also loves to go paddle and hang out inside neighbors’ houses when they go on vacation. She does not identify as a goose so she wants to be with people all the time.
