Contributions sought for lovely Goose
Silverstream has a famous community goose who has set up home alongside the Reformed Church complex. He/she can wander off whenever he likes but Mr Goose/Goosie Loosie has decided to stay put and made absolutely sure over the last three months that a group of ducklings survived the presence of rats to reach sufficient maturity.
Goosie Loosie is friendly, talkative and quite loveable. She/he has 'reached" out to people passing by day and night.
The goose is being fed by neighbourhood people. PLEASE DONT GIVE HIM/HER BREAD. Duck food, shredded lettuce leaves, the shredded leaves of cauliflower and other similar food is appreciated. Note - not the stalks. Interestingly though, some geese kill rats and mice - they apparently swallow them whole.
Now here is the thing - I think a vet should take a look at Goosie Loosie because he/she is in a somewhat straggly condition which may be more than just clipped wings and I want to see if any people on Neighbourly are willing to fork out a gold coin or a $5 note inorder to gather in sufficient funds for a vet at the Silverstream clinic to take a proper and professional look.
