Embden Goose only eating wildfowl pellets and corn

Ya know this gives me a good idea: we need to add something about this to the signs that will be posted on top of the dispensers.....Something like "Dumping off wildlife is illegal and offenders will be prosecuted." Thanks for the good idea~

From what I can see, it seeems difficult to raise goslings here....a number of people have geese, but the goslings don´t live long in general. So, no over-population.

Does any one know why?

So Miss Lydia and livininbrazil you are trying to ice skate on the geese poopies? My my I too have slid on the poopies when the ground is wet. Boy one must have good balance to make way through the poopie muds!!!!!!!

I have to be extra careful coming down the hill in a few places where they walk the most.

Some of the folks who live in homes right on the lake have told us they are going to put up cameras-- but the lake and park are open 24/7 which is another problem, as some of the more unfortunate people sleep there at night-- and there are other problems with littering, alcohol and drug abuse at night. They want to keep it open though, so we have to deal with that.......But it makes the wildlife more vulnerable.

Glad to of some help to the wildlife....

When they take and put all these waterfowl down it is too bad that they do not dress them out and donate them to hungry people in this country!!!

Miss Lydia you need spikes on the bottom of your shoes to help you from sliding!

I just do not understand people who just dump off geese and ducks like that. Why do they not take them to the Humane Society and leave them there. Or put an ad on cragislsit it is free!!!????

I just read about a new born baby being dumped in a satchel in a park in the UK, a person was walking their dog and the dog went into the bushes and wouldn't come when called, the person went in looking for their dog and there was the dog sitting by the satchel, thank goodness. So RURU it's not just animals it's humans being dumped to. Very sad.

Around here in general is the saying "if it lives, it lives......." the goslings often die because they´re left in the fields for the parents to care for, and of course, they often don´t get everything they need nutritionally... of course, when it´s not their native homeland, we have to compensate......that´s why I think many goslings die. My friends that I got my first 3 from, in their ignorance, fed all their goslings really well! They bought chick crumb for their chicks, so the goslings ate it along with them.

Mostly it´s dogs that get dumped because there´s no-where to take them (only exists in the centre of São Paulo) and the vets won´t put down any unwanted dog, so they end up being dumped out in the countryside lanes, and either some poor person feels sorry for yet another dog and starts to feed it, or someone puts out poison, or it´ll starve to death. We´ve seen that, it´s very hard.

But nice happy ending, what a great dog!!
