text:  Nene are especially at risk now as parents are unwilling to leave their nest or goslings behind when threatened. Goslings are unable to fly until they are 10 to 12 weeks old. So please keep cats indoors and dogs on leashes. Although some Nene may seek handouts, please do not feed them. Remember, people food is not Nene food and it puts them at risk for malnutrition. Finally, please drive carefully as Nene and other endangered water birds frequently cross roadways during the day and night.
