white goose in my neighborhood all alone...

[plc]

I haI live in South Central Pa, not sure if that is important or not..

There are always ducks & geese nearby, hanging out in water-retention ponds & such, even through winter. Lately there is a white goose all alone, do they breed for life? I always feel bad for it when I drive by, in this huge water-retention pond, with no other geese to be found.

Just curious!
Thanks

Sounds like he got dumped there, poor thing. He may have had a partner, but something might have happened to it.

Is there ducks in the pond with it? at least it will have them to hang out with...

There are no chicks with it. It is totally alone

Sounds like it needs to be rescued!

I have read that geese mate for life. In a way that's sweet and awful at the same time. It's really hard on them I imagine when they lose their mates.

I meant is it hanging out with any other ducks or geese wild or domestic? Can you give it a home? does it look malnourished?

If it is a domestic goose that got dumped and is all alone...it won't stand too much of a chance on it's own. I agree with Lydia and a couple others: This sounds like a potential rescue operation. Poor thing.

Please help it! If you can't, can you find someone who will? I would take it if I was in driving distance.

Let me know if you need help rescuing it. I'm near Hershey, PA. I could also foster it until a permanent home is found.
