Yay Chicks! :
Anyone familiar with the Fernhill Wetlands in Forest Grove? We were there today and there is a flock of brown Chinese domestic geese there. They are beautiful, quite tame and are likely going to be prey to coyotes or eagles or whatever. I spoke to the contact of Friends of Fernhill and he is open to a rescue if someone is able to offer them refuge. I know nothing about geese, really, but the folks on the Geese thread seemed to think they won't survive there due to their level of tameness and relative inability to fly.
Anyone interested?
The contact did not know how they came to be there. Dumped maybe?
Here's a video I took of them today:
We have a place here where they'd be safe. Five and half acres, and a boggy pond area we are going to relegate into a full pond in the spring. I have to check with my Mum, to get her take. Only issue would be catching them and getting them here. We are about an hour and a half away in Colton. But my Mum works in Hillsboro, so it's not the distance. May need to ask the folks on the Geese thread, on how to catch a Goose and safely transport it.
Will get back to you, let me just check with my Mum.
Good on ya' for worrying about them like that, and being proactive in trying to get them safe.
