Norbert Canada Goose

[Mel larson]

Hi!
I have a local pond in my back yard with a path around it. I have. Been going and feeding the ducks all summer. There was only one family of Canadian geese and they had 3 babies there. One of them was just a little off from the start...( lost his baby feathers last, was more small, more friendly, had a skin tag thing on his face at first..then at one point ate some netting i had to pull out of his mouth...ECT) I named him cuz he always came close to me and was so friendly . . its been a couple months now . All the babies look grown up, but I went there today like I do everyday and the family is gone and Norbert is still there. I called his name and he came running to me...
Is he a weak goose for the group? Is he attached to me ? Could be have mental/health issues? I hate knowing he is out alone without his family. He is such a sweety . Any thoughts ?

Just a suggestion. Contact your local wildlife agency and tell them how you know Canadian Geese are protected but that this one did not leave with the others. It could be they will tell you how to feed and shelter it should it not leave on its own soon. Or they may come get it and take it to a rescue group.
