Papa Goose: One Year, Seven Goslings, and the Flight of My....

The charming true story of one man`s journey to raise seven goslings in the name of science. In Papa Goose, Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslings—and the surprising things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning, with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations around the world. For the next eleven months, we follow the newly minted dad as he takes the goslings on daily swims in the lake, tracks them down when they go astray, and watches their personalities develop: feisty, churlish, and lovable. Packed with charm and humor, Papa Goose quickly draws us into the adventure as Gloria, Nemo, and the rest of the crew conquer land, water, and air. Im März 2017 erschien Michael Quettings Bestseller Buch “Plötzlich Gänsevater“ über sein 11 monatiges Leben mit 7 Graugänsen im Wald. Neben sehr amüsanten und selbstironischen Geschichten, verarbeitet er darin seine Rückkehr zur Natur und wieviel er von 7 kleinen Gänseküken für sein späteres Menschenleben lernen konnte. Das Leben im Jetzt, komplette Entschleunigung und vor allem nicht immer die Geißel seiner Gedanken zu sein.... Wenn wir uns voll auf sie einlassen, können uns Tiere das alles zeigen.
