broken wing

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

There is a goose on my pond with a broken wing. She (just a guess) is a wild, Canadian goose - not mine. I have been watching her for a while. At first the wing was sticking up at an odd angle. Now, it has dropped and sags toward the ground. She used to have a mate - I thought. Now she seems to be single. She stays with the flock much of the time, but I often see them pick on her. I've been able to lure her closer with feed - corn. Today, she hung out in back of my house, by the water - as long as I didn't get too close. Any thoughts or ideas? Can the wing heal?

I broken wing is unlikely to heal on its own. I would see if there is a wildlife rehabilitater nearby that could help.

Ok, thanks. I figured that was the case but was hoping differently.
