The provided sentence "My mother she is nice" is incorrect for a few reasons. First of all, the sentence does not end in a period.

When speaking in English, you do not place a noun (a person in this case) next to a pronoun since you already have the noun to identify the character with.
1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."

The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
