We live on a river and have 2 geese and 8 hens, and my mother witnessed a woman come up to our house in a boat yesterday and shoo an African goose up to our land. She said she was calling it a name. My mom thought it was one of our African geese, but the goose is still here today, swimming against the bank, and our geese don't swim in the river. (Preferring to sit in tubs of water.) Our geese and the new goose have been talking to each other a bit.
I tried to feed it this morning but it wouldn't come close enough and stayed in the water. We don't mind adopting it, if it can get along with our geese. (We think we have a goose and gander, but they were hatched this spring, so not totally sure yet) This goose also looks to be about the same age as ours. Someone probably got it from a feed store in town and decided they didn't want it anymore. They've probably seen our geese honk at them as they've boated past enough times to know our geese are the same breed, too.
Any thoughts on dumped geese?
