    What does a goose vibrating it's head mean

    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?

    cheap replacements for medicated goose injury spray?

    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...

    how would you transport an injured goose that can fly

    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...

    have you ever seen a bumblefoot goose walking with his wrist

    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...

    would steel cut oats retain nutrition over whole rolled

    ... they don't steam steel cut oats, right? But whole rolled would mean steaming occurs before rolling, so some vitamins are lost... thanks

    hypothetical question, if I find an injured wild goose, how do I get it taken care of with no risk

    ... no risk of euthanasia? the spca would probably trick me into euthanizing if this happened and I went through them, and I can't take any wild birds to a vet. i am just trying to find the process for this if it should ever happen, to be prepared. I would drive a goose like 3 hours ona weekend...

    gosling neck problem question

    just today, I have noticed a young gosling with 10 siblings, he is not bending down to eat with them when they are out and about. His neck seems stuck so it bends backwards, the back of his neck touching his back, cannot move his neck into any other posiiton, so he can't bend down to eat; and he...

    ask two more canada goose questions...

    1. Is anything meant by stepping on top of my foot/shoes a little bit while I feed a male (not in a pair) - 2. Is it possible for a female canada goose to have more dominance in the pair than a male? I know a fairly sedate male that doesn't fight a lot, not too loud, just likes to hang out. His...

    Canada Goose: questions about pair loyalty

    So i just had some questions out of curiosity: 1. A mated pair is running around, suppose the male, or female, beccomes flightless / breaks a wing but survives; will their mate most likely abandon them, or stay with? I know the flock will abandon a flightless bird but I'm asking about mates...

    feeding and fear of cars

    OK so I feed some canada geese near to where i park, on the grass, at work, oats. Every day when I get to work. I know that most geese are already used to cars and therefore not afraid of them, which gets them hurt when angry drivers hit them for not getting out of the way. These particular...

    question about modifications to a car hood that would repel geese

    I live in a coastal riverine area with a ton of wild canada geese. People hit them very often with cars, as they are so slow to cross the road. I wonder about the decoys which are advertised as scaring geese away from a lawn area (a plastic owl statue, a spinning coyote silhouette, a hanging...
