Traumatised chicks find a doting Dad

Goslings find an unlikely new carer.

THE five baby goslings taken to a bird sanctuary in Northdene, as highlighted in editor Robyn Scott’s column, From the News Desk, this week, have found an unlikely parent.

The resident rooster has put aside his machismo and adopted the babies as his own.

They snuggle under his wings and chest at night where his feathers keep them cosy and warm, just like Mum. Who says “men” don’t have a motherly instinct.
