Geese for Newbies

I work at a resort in Florida and last week 2 geese and a white duck showed up. They are not afraid of people at all and let me hand feed them. I've figured out that one is a Chinese and the other is a Greylag. Now the Greylag will let me pet her and will lightly nip at me, rub her head on my legs and climb onto my lap. I'm taking it that these were someone's pets but I can't figure out where they came from. I've never seen them fly, the three just waddle along together. They've picked a favorite spot now and never leave it. I've been feeding them bread but I don't know what they're supposed to be eating. Any insights?
Sounds like someone let them out that' s usually how they show up, it's called dumping and very sad. Bread isn't good for them they need lots of green grass and water fowl pellets. the duck will look for bugs to eat , the grass needs to be free from chemicals also. Someone probably had them and possibly got over whelmed and couldn't care for them any more and figured hey the resort will care for them, sometimes they get dumped in rivers and ponds and lakes , parks also. Maybe you can go to work on their behalf and find them a good safe home. Especially if the resort doesn't want to care of them or want them around. bless you for caring enough to post about them. and
