What a nice deck owner to take care of Hillary and Hank and let them hatch their babies in peace. How cool to see every year.

They’re like family finally moving out. You’re happy yet sad at the same time.

Geese mate for life. Very good parents , and the landlord is very awesome too 💕

She looks so cute in the flowerpot😃

A really wonderful man to sacrifice his beloved deck to beautiful geese to raise their family. Then to call for help to have them relocated to a safe place. Well done!

Wow, those must be the most civil and well mannered canadian geese i have ever seen. Guess they gave you some special treatment for using your deck 😂

Thank you so much for letting them live with you! Beautiful story :)

Very cute! Eggs safe from ground predators, too.

That was so cool how he shared his deck with the geese

He lost a deck, but gained so much more. Thank you for your generosity.

those little goslings, super cute

Your deck makes the perfect playpen for the goslings! I can see why they chose it! Plus, pea soup!

You sir are so wonderful for letting the geese use your deck like that

Just adorable...specially when they try to swim in a soup bowl...Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed!

Next year, as a proud deck owner, you might want to install them a nice bucket full of water 😅 Thank you for sharing a bit of wildlife cuteness!

This needs to be turned into a children's book, written exactly as he told it. So charming.

Canada Geese are incredible parents. They even organise their own creches in Coal Harbour, Vancouver with two geese looking after anywhere up to fifty Goslings.

Thank you for waiting for them to hatch!

What a nice 👍 guy to share his patio to our neighbors to the north. Nice going!

Best alarm system you could ever have!! Geese are so beautiful and intelligent, and goslings are very entertaining poofs to watch. 💫Perhaps put a small padding pool out for next year? ⛲

How cool is this guy? ❤❤❤

Love that Hillary feels safe to roost on your deck ❤️and that you help get them all safely to the pond to grow up! You're a good human, Kristian!

You and the geese (and the adorable goslings) and the wildlife persons ... you are all wonderful!

You're one cooperative goose grampa, happy story to tell! To hear that you're reenacting the freeing of the babies year after year gives me a wonderful chuckle. Nice folks indeed. 🎉

What an awesome experience! They definitely know they will be safe there every year.

Silly goose 😂

Dear Deck Owner: THANK YOU for looking after the mama goose and her family ;)

They shat on it, it’s their deck now. 😂 Kudos to the owner for caring for mama and the babies and letting them live there until they were ready to move. ❤

As a Canuck, this man is brave asf to approach let alone befriend a goose. 😭👏🏻

How wonderful for you to give up your deck to this family. ❤️

I like that he relocated them. Their environment is EVERYTHING! I love the way he told the story too! Lol 😆

How very sweet! Thank you for being so kind to them!

To have such patience and love for nature is beautiful!

Love the name you gave her...the babies are so stinkin' cute. Nice of you to share your space with them. How fun!

Being from Texas, where geese only fly over, I was charmed by them calling from the roofs and nesting in the flowerbeds in Boise, ID. I walked up to a downtown building we'd rented for a business conference, and the goose in the flowerbed was huge! I nodded and said, "how you doing? You're a good momma! You got a good nest for your eggs!" The goose said "honk." Only a few coworkers were in the conference room, though? Then we got a call that most of the other women had been scared off by that goose & needed a big man to escort them in. ...So, don't be afraid to acknowledge geese and give them props. It seems to work!

It's great that she was comfortable enough to lay her eggs on your deck!! Such a blessing omg. The babies are going to love you

Beautiful story and a gorgeous family. Nice guy to let the geese use his deck❤️❤️. I would too just for the super experience 🌈🌈

That was beautiful, hopefully you'll have another video for us next year.

Great story. I had the same two geese come to nest on the roof of my shed year after year. And year after year the crows would rob their nest. Still, I fed the pair so they came around daily to inform me when it was meal time. Those two, the turkey family, the deer families, squirrels , Bluejays and chickadees all knew when the kitchen was open! I miss them.

So magnanimous of you to let them use your deck ! All the best to you

Well it was the perfect sized flower pot and a perfect sized man's heart 💛

Mine would be like Day #4 of the Geese taking over my deck and things have gone horribly wrong. The geese have claimed squatter's rights and are taking me to court to try to seize my property. But what can I do they have babies! Too cute!

Bless you for “living with nature” and not destroying them, like other people would.

The babies swimming in the pea soup 😭😭😭 lol 🤣

Awesome deck. Awesome geese. Awesome man to give over his deck to the geese, each year.

That was a very welcome story. We need to remember we share this environment with wild animals - co-habitation is a-ok 👍

What an amazing thing to look forward to every year!

It's a heattwarming story ❤❤❤

This is great! I have cared for a lot of birds, squirrels and deer, never geese. Can't wait until next year when your entire deck is full with the whole family😁

Canadian geese: MINE

Aww 🥰 how beautiful!!! If only all humans were this kind to wildlife ❤❤

I would have let them have my deck as well. What a cute video. :o)

Momma knew what she was doing by laying her eggs up high and safe off the ground from other critters that might the babies just wish she could have moved the babies when she was ready but it was awesome any ways to see the kind guy let her and poppa goose 🦆 rent the deck for a short while ☺️😊♥️

Aww, so sweet to them! Considering their temperaments! Well, at least the Canada geese that I've dealt with! Violence is usually the first option for them, even when no eggs or chicks are involved. The babies are so darn cute though! Bless 'em and a Big Thank You for taking such good care of them and allowing them to hatch their young in a safe space.

What a beautiful story, what a lucky man

Very sweet!!! You actually sound like a proud papa!!!

I love this story, how beautiful!

Adorable! Thank you

Hilary and Hank are wonderful parents. And Deck Man is the PERFECT fairy goose father. The filming is wonderful. The narration is wonderful. And watching the parade towards the pond made me laugh and tear up simultaneously. H&H obviously trust the fairy goose father, otherwise they wouldn't go to his home year after year. Hilary will just be extra hissy at that time as she is in full protective parent mode. It isn't just that they trust this gentleman to be kind, they also know he is INTELLIGENT. People can want to be kind, and like our non human cousins, but sometimes they don't know to keep their distance - to be aware of issues like diseases that humans can pass to creatures that don't have our immunities, or can leave out things to eat that make them ill. Clearly this gentleman is doing everything kindly and intelligently.

They are all beautiful gorgeous amazing animals.

What a lovely, sweet story. Such a sweet, funny man.❤

Two weeks ago my sister got hit by a car and now is in Rehab indefinitely while I run between my house and hers to look after my 2 cats and her house and yard and cat and dog (who would definitely not get along with my formerly feral cats). I am exhausted and then 4 days ago I was given a surprise cancer diagnosis. I have to say this beautiful story gave me a much needed lift. I have great love and respect for people who appreciate nature and value all the critters on the planet. 💕

You are such a great guy and kind person. Bravo!

Just takes my breath away. The beauty 😍 and ❤️ of their babies.

Precious 😊

Great story. Love the ones that need you the most. 😉

I wonder if the whole family will be back next year to lay eggs and raise their goslings? I think you might need more flowers pots😁 What a lovely man, only the best for his Geese❤️

One of the best home owner ever. Respect for everything you do and will keep on doing. Keep up the love

That was so beautiful thank you for sharing it with us x

I love his story telling. And his compassion for the geese. Caring for them until they were ready to be relocated. ❤️👏

They're all so adorably cute.

Amazing!❤

Wonderfull video. Circle of life and kindness 😇

That is so cool. You should feel honored. You are probably the only person around who has a wild pair of geese that returns every year to have their babies.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story ❤

Wonderful work , human guardian of the earth! ♥️

I believe geese like many birds migrate back to the same place every year. And a lot of new developments in the suburbs houses now stand where there used to be forest. I'm sure when these animals inexplicably show up at someone's house it's because it's where they've gone for generations. God bless this guy for being willing to share and accommodate the geese as they grow their family. So adorable!

What a privileged guy to get to experience this amazing event every year

Beautiful man. Thank you.

Ahww good on you lad taking care of that family!

呢隻Goose好聰明😍😍

Thank you to this beautiful heartfelt human caring attendance for these sacred beings and to ENJOY the delight in being able to experience what 'true' wealth is. 💞🌈

Hillary picked the right human's deck to grow her family... you were thoughtful at every point along the way. Even up to the very end, of relocation to the pond. No stress to that little family and minimal human imprinting. 👍😊

Thank you, Deck owner ❤️❤️❤️ I love Canada Geese ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this lovely video. I'm curious what the mom goose was planning on feeding the babies since there isn't any vegetation for them to eat once they hatch , and how would they ever get off the deck if you weren't there every year to call wildlife services. I'm glad you're a compassionate and smart goose guardian!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yet another lovely story. Thank you.

I love this guy so much.. 'I guess it's no longer my deck'😍👼

👍🏻🤗

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Big smiles here 😊👍✨ Thank you for sharing 🤗

It's great to see people coexisting with nature and you are fortunate that mom trust your deck and you.

Wow high quality

What a great story. You are very nice to help them.

True politeness is being good and not expecting anything back.

Such a lovely and great man.

The little gosling heads popping out from underneath mom's wings! ❤❤❤

What a beautiful, heartwarming story 😍 God bless you

So sweet we need more humans ❤️ like you

Soooo precious! Thanks for sharing. Arizona, USA.
