Prayers Postscript
Many thanks for the continuing kind words, healing thoughts,
well wishes and prayers for Bon Bon Pond’s injured Canada Goose. The good news is he has not gotten any worse
and remains active both swimming and climbing up and down the steep bank for
his corn. Additionally, he travels the
extra distance to join his extended family
in the backyard to graze on the short grass and nap under the
pines. He is still limping but it doesn’t interfere with his
daily routine.
Canada Goose expert Choo
Love Rosenbloom from our sister site www.LoveCanadaGeese.com examined the
photos below and is cautiously optimistic that no serious life-threatening
damage has been done to his left wing. Unfortunately,
Minnesota’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center will only take Canada Geese that can be
rehabbed back into the wild. There is no
sanctuary here for non-endangered waterfowl that cannot fly.
Gee, I'm no expert but his wing looks okay. Please keep us posted when he regrows his primaries. Yeah, sadly there's no sanctuary in MN or any neighboring state, that I know of. But a place in a garage, shed or barn with lots of paper lining the floor and a heated bath is all that is required, if necessary.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly keep a close eye on him. I should know more when they are finished molting. In August the family reunions begin when the smaller families fly around to visit the extended family.
ReplyDeleteChandel is dealing with a youngin' from Lindo Lake with a birth defect. He can't fly but is lucky that he lives in a place where migration is not necessary.
