Geese 'Geese' is part of my continuing exploration into finding 'value' where none appears apparent, particularly with birds and animals that came to my country when colonization occurred in the mid to late 1800's. Our rural beginnings were heavily reliant on domestic birds and farm animals for survival. While agriculture is still a very big earner in my country (and many other countries in the west) the animals as individuals have lost the value and importance they once had to us in our every day lives, as we have divorced ourselves from the land and the things we eat. 2012 Photography

Exotics In the 1860's & 70's non-migratory carnivorous birds from the 'homeland' of Europe were introduced to New Zealand to control the plagues of insects that had come about due to deforestation and unwitting imports in food and goods.
Settlers were paid not insignificant sums for bringing out live breeding pairs. Many birds did not survive the voyage and many attempts were made before success was reached.
Birds were kept in special breeding aviaries or 'Acclimatization Gardens' in the Auckland Domain to build populations up. Visitors to the colony often remarked on the unusualness of seeing such common English birds treated as distinguished guests.
Those so called 'distinguished guests' now go unnoticed; they've become part of the furniture, even considered pests or at the least competition for our native birds. 2012 Photography
