He/she has been there for two weeks now and maybe unable to fly. He does look a little straggly/weather beaten He most certainly would like food supplied and here are three greenies he would very likely enjoy - shredded cabbage, lettuce and leaves of the cauliflower. DO NOT GIVE THE GOOSE BREAD. He might like shredded carrot and grapes sliced in half. Apparently he talks to my wife - but who wouldn't.
