It's official. Maria the famous goose lives at the Los Angeles Zoo. And his (Maria's a boy) coming out party will be Thursday, June 30, at the Winnick Family children's area, where the goats, donkey, and piggies live. Dominic Ehrler, Council President Eric Garcetti, Councilman Tom LaBonge, and Zoo Director John Lewis will officially welcome Maria to his new digs at 1:30 p.m. Any zoo-goer can attend the ceremony as well. Honk if you love Maria!

Chicken Corner will be honking and clucking from Washington, D.C.
