Full Story of Sam and I

This is easily my favorite interview I've done about my friendship with these geese, not only did they take my ramblings and turn it into a coherent story, but they also found the perfect videos from my channel to go along with it. Thanks to the great people @We_Love_Animals for allowing me to share it in my channel.

[@CinnamonFudge2229]

Animals are honest, they either love you or they don't, but when they do, they love you to death. So to have that affection and trust from them is truly one of the most precious experiences ever

[@poof9327]

True friendships between your Comrade animals last longer than the universe

[@thegrandpowerchannel314]

True! Had a cockatiel, and she would literally jump on me with happy squeaks every time i come back home. You could tell she really liked me. Sadly, she passed away year ago, but i'll always remember her as a loving, yet very cocky cockatiel, who would come to me every time i called her. Rest in peace, Alex

I mean what more can a man want in life? but know of a true family he never knew he had

[@Justin-ko1ht]

I had a garden gecko a few years ago. He had a broken leg and me and my mom fixed it with small bandage. After biting me 18 times he suddenly became quiet and then even tried to snuggle under my collar. After all this he became a really beloved member of my family until his curiosity got the best of him and he leaped from 3 storeys onti hard concrete. Rest in peace jimmy, you were a lizard with more human emotion than my own neighbors.

[@Ch0senJuan]

Lol

[@swatcccp4673]

Im sorry for your loss but i find it funny and i do regret that i do that it jumped from 3 storeys just because it got curious. Nah id win personality

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

was its name George by chance? cute how you domesticated a garden gecko bu just letting it bite you 18 times while your mother bandaged it up.

[@ByForschle]

How can one short story be so lovely, so surprising, grotesquely funny and still sad but happy again no at once???

[@plweis7203]

A wonderful story. I love this

[@SullivansGoose]

Thanks so much :) You can watch all the short clips of Sam running towards me growing up as well : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqGYnWV9o9lllas

[@RookyLobster447]

I had a pet goose as a child and seeing this fills my mind with so many wonderful memories I hope you and your geese go on to create just as amazing memories and have just as much fun together

[@SullivansGoose]

Dude should've named that gosling "Ryan"

[@pearlleeooo9955]

This is so touching. I recently, a few months ago, was given 3 Turkey poults to babysit, the eldest was 2 days old, the middle was 1 day old, and the youngest was 12 hours old. My intuition told me that the eldest was a boy, we named him Elvis, the second we weren’t sure about, so we named her Bilbo, the youngest I felt was a female so I named her Brown Sugar. Sugar looked very different from the other 2, they were classic broad-breasted bronze looking ones. Sugar on the other hand was the perfect cross between a Sweet grass and a broad breasted bronze. She was a mousy brown, but she had the beautiful wing zebra stripes that bronzes have. They cried when we weren’t with them. We discovered Bilbo was female and renamed her Priscilla, after Elvis Presleys wife. We planned to keep Elvis. However, we were moving and couldn’t have a Tom where we were going, so we decided to keep Sugar instead. When the owners came back after 2 months for the other 2, they wanted Sugar, the pretty runt, however, sugar was imprinted on us more so than the other 2 and cried when we left her for more than a minute. I put my foot down and said we were keeping her. They eventually agreed. Poor sugar had never been without her older siblings and cried (in Turkey) for the next 48 hours she was with our old hens. Now Sugar is 4 months old and thinks she’s a dog, she comes when we call her and loves coming inside for snuggles.

It's always a wonderous feeling to be accepted by a group for being yourself.

[@Susie_Floozie]

I've missed seeing your interactions with your pals at Sullivan's Pond! I dig what you mean. Replacing less-than-satisfying human interactions with the company of chickens, now five of them, has saved me from just giving up and letting go. Birds don't know from social awkwardness--they just know who's cool with them and who isn't. When you prove yourself enough to cross that line and get accepted by a flock, it's a thrill that warms your soul. It's so sweet to see Sam growing up in seconds. That one huge greeting she gives you knocks me out every time!

[@SullivansGoose]

I may always have to have my guard up a little bit physically when it comes to Geese, but it sure is nice not to need the social one up.

[@redwitch95]

1:02 Sam looks so majestic!

[@Peekinggeneral]

The only goose I knew always bit me in my arse when going past it

[@LilyBecca]

I love this! I have hens, and they run up to me and follow me around. I read that they can recognize up to 100 different human faces.

[@realitate666]

When you said ''I'm not a people person'' I felt that.

[@AnnaBelleEevee]

Animals never lie. They are with you because they genuinely want to be so you can be sure that sam loves you with all of her heart. And when you gain that type of love it will last forever

[@WobblesandBean]

As a lover of ducks and geese, this warms my heart. 💜

[@life.is.an.imposition]

I have a very similar bond with a feral flock of pigeons at my local lake! Geese and pigeons are so misunderstood and highly underrated. It truly is magical to have such a close bond with a baby, modern day dinosaur! I'd rather be with a flock of pigeons, than a group of humans. I know what you mean, when you say your heart warms when the flock comes to you. If even one pigeon spots me, the message is sent that I've arrived, and the entire flock flies to me - it's thee best feeling in the whole world! My heart smiles, even when I don't want to, when I'm with my pigeons. I hope you and your baby dinosaurs have the best of times together. Thank-you for caring for these misunderstood babies! Bird people are special people.

[@subohmcircus]

Thanks for the joy that you bring me.

[@SullivansGoose]

A pleasure :)

[@avishasarkar]

This is so adorable and heartwarming. I have pigeons and they may look identical but if you look for long enough, they are different with unique personalities. So beautiful ❤

I used to have geese when I lived with my foster family in a farm house they are lovely animals

I’d say to the guy, “listen, you tried to be patient with temperamental geese, now try to do the exact same thing with people”. He’s very much the personification of the very geese he spent time with…

My favourite part about the original growing up with Sam vid was just how the trill was consistent despite Sams growth and vocal change, she developed a trill just to greet her favourite friend
