CANADA GOOSE BREEDERS (I found LEGAL breeders!)

[MGG]

So, if I want to buy hatchable eggs from a legal Breeder, do I need to have a permit myself to be allowed to buy and raise them, or do I just need to get them from a permitted breeder?

I would help you out but my Giants have only laid two eggs so far and I have any potential goslings spoken for already. I can let you know if they successfully double clutch though.

(This is their strictly temporary private breeding kennel)

This is completely false, I have no idea where you would have heard something like that.

Maybe if you were going to rescue wild injured Canada geese, but no one here is doing that.

There are hundreds, probably thousands, of people that legally keep and breed Canada geese in captivity. I can guarantee you none of them are "rescues".

The people here, myself included, do not raise only subspecies of Canada geese. I have Giant Canada geese, Atlantic Canada geese (the regular sized widespread strain), Snow geese (both the snow and blue phases), and white fronted geese. These are all fully wild varieties and not some domesticated down versions.

And that last part, completely illegal and would get you slapped with a huge fine or even jail time. I would edit your post and remove that part since that is really bad advice and directly violates the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Bar-Headed geese are way way harder to find in captivity and it would be much easier to just find a legal seller of Canada geese or any other type of goose than find a breeder of Bar-Headed geese.

Ooh! You have the common subspecies? I’ve been looking for them, they are kind of hard to find. For whatever reason, the other subspecies are more popular but the common or eastern are the kind that the APA accepts, and I’d like to show them, just for kicks. Plus I just think it would be cool to own the kind I see flying over all the time. That would be far in the future though, when I have a place and money of my own.

Very illegal

I don’t think I said anywhere that it was legal. It’s pretty clear and obvious that people are not supposed to own Canada geese. The USDA is also not supposed to kill thousands upon thousands of Canada geese every year, and yet they do that at parks in nearly every city in the US. Gassing them and their babies to death in the most cruel way.

No, you don’t know what you are talking about. @Kessel23 has had Canadas and still has one. He’d know.
I believe you just need one piece of paperwork from the breeder to own them, but you need to register with the state to breed them. Definitely the semidomestic captive ones we are talking about. Definitely not wild geese.

I don’t know what I’m talking about? But you do of course.

If you think people aren’t supposed to own Canada geese you went to the wrong thread. Now I will ignore you.

Clearly a troll.

To state it is completely false when you do not know either is quite ludicrous. I contacted many rescues and had in-depth conversations with them. They had to get special permits to keep them, and they were granted these permits, because they are rescues.

I will not edit my post. I used the appropriate words such as “I think “and I also used the appropriate words such as stating the bar headed geese are not illegal, which very clearly implies to any half person with half a brain that Canada geese ARE illegal to own. Perhaps my statement at the beginning of my post, which talks about it, not being legal in any way might be a clue that it is not legal to own Canada geese? Feel free to report my post to a moderator if you are unhappy with it.

Clearly quite the ignorant statement, since I have been a member of this website for almost 4 years!

There is literal paperwork people can have that makes it legal to buy from licensed breeders.

I think it has already been determined that these are not true, Canada geese, but are a subspecies called Cackle Geese.
