As part of our continuing series "Assignment America," Steve Hartman meets a retired salesman from Los Angeles who shares a special bond with a Gray Toulouse goose named Maria.
Of all the "unlikely animal friends"... this one is probably my favorite. I just can't get that picture of the goose flying next to his scooter outta my head. Just adorable. I hope they have a life-long friendship.

All birds have this marvelous ability to bond with a "mate". They will bond with humans just as deeply as with another birds. My Macaw is extremely jealous of my other bird and all other humans that pay attention to me instead of her. Sometimes it drives me nuts! But I love them so much

You said it, Jody. My heart went out to this wonderful innocent creature, but froze at the thought of the innumerable-INNUMERABLE-jerks that inhabit this planet who would think nothing of hurting or killing this animal just for kicks. That's how they get their fun. I thought the man was too lackadaisical about leaving this animal behind. he ought to adopt her and protect her. Period. A very inadequate response to such animal distinction!

My parents have had many geese and there was one in particular, named Gumby, that took a shining to me. I could go out the door and yell, "BOYFRIEND!" and he would honk from far away on their 10 acre property. I would just keep calling, "BOYFRIEND" and he would honk back as he got closer and closer. He would eventually find me and he would hang out with me for a while. It was great.

I love this story. One summer when I was younger I was fishing near a group of geese and noticed that they were singling out one of the baby geese and started to attack it so I went over and scared the bullies away and took the baby home with me, cleaned it up and cared for it for the whole summer. It followed me around like a baby would but I had to part from it because my dad was not very fond of it. I gave him to a local geese shelter and was very heartbroken over it, but it was for the best
