'Goose Whisperer' Bonds With Park Birds
July 18, 2007 By TOBY STERLING, Associated Press Writer
Geese specialist Martin Hof observes geese in a park in Delft, west central Netherlands, Wednesday July 11, 2007. A gaggle of geese runs riot in the Hof van Delft Park. They honk, they hiss, they harass, and they scatter droppings everywhere. Hof has become a minor celebrity here, in part for his ability to communicate with fowl, which some say borders on the magical. They call him "The Goose Whisperer," and he has a job to do.
