Diary of a mother goose is the title of a fourteen-part television documentary by WDR and a book of the same name by Angelika Hofer from 1989.
Angelika Hofer receives ten gray goose eggs from a farmer and raises the chicks in her log cabin on the Hopfensee . The brood bell replaces the mother goose's plumage and Hofer talks to the chicks in the egg. Like the goose Martina with Konrad Lorenz , the chicks begin to imprint themselves on their surrogate mother after hatching. She teaches them to swim and fly. In the course of the rearing work, Hofer has to make a long trip to South America, but even after her return she is recognized by the goose cubs. Angelika Hofer is accompanied with the camera for a year and at the end of the documentary she becomes a goose granny.
A mother goose's diary ran on Thursdays from December 1989 in the ARD's afternoon program. Each episode lasted 15 minutes. The series was also released on VHS video cassette.
