What if a goose was in your backyard honking like a cow? The Nene “nay nay” is from Hawaii, and it is also known as the Hawaiian Goose. The Nene lives in low land grass pastures. It also lives by volcanos. The Nene is pretty small for a goose, it is 22 – 27 inches. It has a black head and a white belly. Their predators are cats, rats, and dogs. Their predators come unexpectedly and they kill their babies.They eat berries, grasses, seeds, flowers and fruit. In 1950 only 30 Nene existed, the number has greatly increased from breeding and protection programs. The Nene lays 3 – 6 creamy white eggs. Her eggs are layed from November – January. If you go to Hawaii you should look for a Nene!! By:Dana
