Lonely Male brown Chinese Goose in Florida

[Mymzee]

Hello everyone...

I recently went to visit family near Ft. Walton Beach, FL and found that on the bayou where they live, there is a lonely Chinese goose. He seems to be a male (large bump). He cries all day and apparently he had a mate, but the mate has been gone for a long time now. He is not able to make friends with any of the other birds or ducks and has effectively ran them all off. He seems to want human interaction, but ends up attacking everyone. I was there for 3 days and he latched on to me. He allowed me to pet him and carry him and did not allow anyone else to get near me. He would cry when he would see me or when I would leave, but calm down if I just sat on the beach with him. My concern is that he is anxiously looking for company and can't find the right fit.
He has a great location as he has full access to the homes and beaches on the bayou and some people even feed him so I don't know that removing him would from here to a lake say, would be the right thing or maybe he just needs to be paired up with another lonely goose

I do not have any experience with this subject so I'm praying that someone can offer some help. Thank you so much.

Oh geese are such social creatures and that gander sounds very lonely indeed

You are a very kind hearted person, I know that would upset me too. The goose people will give you the best advice. I'm wondering if you got him a new female, if he would run her off too. I hope this scenario has a happy ending.

Thanks you so much.. Yes I hope someone in the area contacts me too.. If I lived there that is the first thing I would do.. go buy a female and introduce them. My sister in law just informed me that someone pepper sprayed that sweet goose. I'm so heart sick to know that people would treat him this way. Thanks again for your kind words.
