As long as your not penning it up what can you do? it's staying under it's on choice.Did you bring it there? if not how can you be in any trouble? But I'd call a rescue or rehabber before killing it. seems such a shame. wonder if a hunter shot off it's wing.

Honestly I really have no idea how it got here, but its here. I don't think it was shot. I goose hunt and didn't see anything obvious on its leg but then again it won't let me grab it to look. The limp was gone after about a week but now it seems fine and super attached to my ducks. I'm just gonna let it roll. Maybe next fall the migrating geese call overhead will be too much for its instincts to let it stay, just going to enjoy it while its here.

One spring we had a really long late cold spell with snow and ice staying, we live along a mountain river and Canadas fly over in the morning and late evening, One morning I look out the kitchen window and there on the hill behind my house we're 2 Canada's I think they were flying over and saw my goose and ducks and stopped in to see what there was to eat. I offered some scratch they accepted stayed around most of the morning then left they were back the next morning then that was the last time they visited. I think it maybe the pair that nests on an island in the river down below. It was an exciting time for me and my flock they didn't quite know what to make of these 2 that flew in. lol

Try looking up Strombergs, they sell Canada's as for info most likely you could find out just about all you'd want by typing in How to care for Canada geese on line.

I don't think Canadian geese do go as pets.

Hmm really because e fowl says that their geese are domesticated and if hand raised from goslings they will be tame and friendly

My thought was that they are such a migratory bird that travels 1000's of miles back and forth between the north and south each season,that i didn't think they would be good as pets.
