Know an animal rescuer in southern states that loves Canada geese.
I spent a fair amount of time helping her out.
Grabbing ones with broken wings or fishing line on them or whatever in order to get fixed. Or when some idiot tries to run down a flock in a car and hits a few.
They grieve so much they actually cry. It’s super depressing.
The mate will attack you with all they have if you grab their mates. They don’t know you’re trying to help.
Sometimes she has to send them away if the problem is bad enough. Always tries to get them back to the same flock when she releases them. Got the chance to do it a few times with her. We drove 5 hours to grab a repaired goose. It was the happiest I’ve ever seen this rescuer. She said “this is why I love doing this even if I have to deal with all the shitty times” and when we released the ex-injured bird back the mate comes running and quacking and they rub all over each other.
