    Deformed Sebastopol Geese

    We took in three Sebastopol geese and two of them have deformed wings. We have been told by Cornell’s exotic department and another vet that it is not angel wing but no one knows what it is. They act perfectly normal minus their wings are bent downward. They can stretch them out and lift them...
