Description

Meet the Birds: A clutch of Hawaiian Geese (Nene) goslings in the park's North America Aviary. Hawaiian Geese can nest from August through April, although most nesting activity occurs in late winter and early spring. They typically lay 2-5 eggs, and the female Nene will incubate the eggs for an average of 30 days before the goslings hatch. During that time, the male will stay close to the nest, fending off any predators or perceived threats. Both parents participate in protecting the goslings once they hatch.
