That's my question

thank you, good answer

This gesture has been made at me, at food, and at another goose eating food shortly before the vibrating goose stole the food. I wonder what this means... food? competition? dominance? possessiveness?

Just wondering what this is

wild geese / canada goose - 3 goslings from different families have progressed from stiff unsteady slow walking, to a loose wing, to abandoned by family and a bloody limp useless dangling wing, to disappeared / dead (the wings of all were probably broken / injured thru all these stages but i...

... missing tail feathers. If this is a public park, fine. If this is near the woods, maybe something tried to chomp him/her and he escaped

my deal is that, they are not my birds, but wild geese, and I have seen a few injured now. So aside from wildlife rescue, if I see one injured, I want to have something I can use immediately, in my car. Naturally, since there are about 100 geese, and I am not a rich person, I want to cut costs...

they sell a topical spray using hypochloric acid as the active ingredient at the ag coop store. $20 for a few ounces in a bottle. Can anyone think of a home remedy like hydrogen peroxide that would work instead and be less expensive? for injuries scrapes torn foot...

er I would only do this for the goslings, as I saw someone on here post that a diet of oats gave one of their goslings angel wing... these would get grass and oats of course but still. It was really just an experiment to see where to buy it and how to do it

http://wildliferehabinfo.org/ContactList_MnPg.htm go to the a-z state listings at bottom there are way more than listed there though. In my area I tried "my area" + wildlife + spca and followed the google trail to a list of rehabbers 20 long in my city. But, they are pretty hard to get a hold...

this is another hypothetical question, I have a had a loose goose (haha) in my car before, in the passenger's seat. he flapped his wings a lot and tried to get out the closed window. A hand on top of him to steady him stopped most of this. That wasn't a good plan but all turned out well in the...

wow, they seem to hate this nutri drench! I used 1 drop and rolled oats around in it so it got swabbed across a whole handful. 1 drop seems to be the dosage for a 3 pound gosling from the bottle. it strongly disliked the taste and tried to clean it's mouth. What would be the way to do this for a...

I am trying to see if this young adult gosling goose has bumblefoot. I can't get close enough but thought I saw a bumblefoot blister. Maybe. He/she is using one leg, as if I bent my hand down 90 degrees and then tried to walk on my wrist - he is walking on his joint, with his foot bent under...

pictures not clear enough, looks like a sebastopal goose a little bit, right? fluffy curly feathers

they could be a last year or year before son or daughter of the pair with kids
