- How old is she?
- Thirteen.

:33:06
They grow up quick, don't they?
:33:08
I wouldn't know.
:33:10
It's amazing how they follow her
around like that.

:33:13
Yeah. It's called "imprinting".
:33:16
The first living thing a goose sees
it assumes is its mother.

:33:21
They'll follow her anywhere.
:33:38
It's important to note
that geese are tough birds.

:33:43
The way they've been displaced,
I'm amazed they're not extinct.

:33:46
But they've learned to adapt.
:33:48
Where do they go?
:33:51
That's the problem.
I get calls all the time.

:33:55
They land on people's front lawns,
the golf course...

:33:59
That's why we have Ordinance 9314.
:34:02
Ordinance what?
:34:03
Ordinance 9314:
:34:06
"All domestically raised geese
have to be rendered flightless."

:34:11
It's better known as "pinioning".
:34:15
It's actually a simple procedure.
:34:19
It's quite painless.
:34:20
What do we have here?
Come here, guy.

:34:23
Please leave him alone.
:34:25
Your name's Amy, right?
Amy, these geese belong to the Crown.

:34:29
- What Crown?
- Queen of England.

:34:31
- Pinioning?
- I had no idea.

:34:34
It's for the good of the goose
and the people.

:34:37
You take the wing and just shave
a bit off the cuticle here.

:34:41
What are you doing?! Stop it!
Stop it!

:34:46
What the hell are you doing?
:34:50
- Watch out!
- Easy.

:34:52
What are you doing?
:34:55
What the hell are you doing?
:34:58
What's wrong? I'm trying to help.
