So today I went to the forest preserve to take photos and I saw a 4 geese and 2 ducks, the geese are white and one is brown and the ducks are dark brown, called Chinese something or other.. I know virtually nothing about ducks and geese.
Anyway a lady was down there giving them bits of graham cracker, i asked if she knew about them she said she noticed them a few days ago, she lives down the street from the preserve, and she has been feeding them. One of the geese is clearly vision impaired and needs to be fed out of your hand. they were really friendly and swimming around at the preserve and walking along the shore looking for chow.
But we feel bad for them we know they were dumped there as they are not wild species. We know of a goose farm a few miles away and we think they may have a connection to there.
Can these geese and ducks survive winter and what will they eat? should we intervene or would they survive? i think the one who is somewhat blind wouldnt make it without help for sure...
i hope this pic uploads right i took a pic of some of them
i feel bad for them and hope we can get them homes soon... i want to keep them together as they seem to be friends. what should we feed them, thank you all so much
