We recently rescued 5 flightless geese and a duck. We found a wonderful ranch with owners who want to adopt them, but they are in the next state over. We wondered if anyone has shipped a duck (and geese) and what the experience was like. Were there any problems or issues? Thanks for any advice!

We wondered if anyone has shipped flightless geese and a duck via airlines? We rescued these sweeties and have found a new wonderful ranch but it is in the next state over. To fly them there it will be an hour long flight. Can anyone advise us on shipping these birds? Is it recommended or has...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what causes this "snoring" sound on expiration that Pilgrim Geese do? It kind of sounds like a moan also.....I hope she is not in pain? She is an older goose.....

Can you get others interested in keeping them there? That is what we did and continue to do.....IT SEEMS THE CURRENT MIND SET AMONG SO MANY IS "if it's not sterile or perfect in all ways let's get rid of it." Not sure where that comes from. Anyway, I would try to get them re-homed to forever...

We are searching for examples of replicable and sustainable models for parks that have successfully addressed the issues of abandoned domesticated waterfowl. The issues are complex, and hopefully we can find a few examples that address this, including but not limited to population control...

I do not want to unsubscribe from BC~ just a particular group forum. (The issue is not whether or not it is a private group--- it is a group of like-minded folks who are focused on an issue. The issue is how to unsubscribe from this particular group forum.....

All I am trying to do is to unsubscribe from a group forum. Usually there is an "Unsubscribe" option somewhere. I need to know where to find that. Thanks~

Is there a process for unsubscribing to a private group noted somewhere? Does the moderator do this or do the individual group members do this?

We have a rescued female African goose that has the exact same problems. She is unable to stand without tumbling forward or backwards. She now prefers to just sit. She is eating very well and the rehabber is giving her tons of greens and waterfowl pellets along with Drench. This is her second...

Hi, Miss Lydia suggested that I post this here about a finding that we have noted. It is very exciting because the goose that we rescued from our local park that was being abused due to her being lame....is now recovering well after almost two years. Here is what we have learned about healing of...

Gentila you are doing a wonderful thing! Thank you so much!! I use waterfowl feed pellets that I get at the grange here. I do mix in a small amount of cracked corn. Also cat chow is what the veterinarians here are advising people to feed the birds at the lake-- as it also floats. Your dispensers...

Hi, We rescued a beautiful white Embden goose "Joey" almost two years ago now, as she was lame due to osteomyelitis, and kids were hitting her with sticks, stones, etc. Upon getting her examined, the Vet determined that she had a 6" long and 1" wide keel wound (on her chest area.). The wound was...

That sure is adorable! Love it!

I really am hopeful to see that more and more folks are getting involved on this.....Mrs. Maynard is a hero who has been taking this on alone until her kind son helped to promote the issue. Bravo to her and her son.

Thanks P! Yes, I put it on her at night as she is bedding down. I didn't see the post about the Veterinus Derma Gel. Thanks--- I will get some! Your little guys are sure lucky to have your care! K
