Injured Goose Rehabbers
I found a very injured goose in Avondale Lake. It was completely wrapped in fishing line and tied up to a branch in the water with a broken wing. I managed to wade into the pond and cut a lot of the line to release it from the tree but I was unable to capture it. It still has some line likely stuck around its wing even though it is cut and not attached to anything. But more concerningly its wing is very broken along with potentially other areas injured. I’ve been looking for rehabbers and unable to find any that will pick up the phone.
Any help or information is much appreciated. Last I saw it was swimming around the lake relatively well but definitely still needs help.
Update: Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up going back to the lake a couple hours after cleaning up. I found the same goose and he seemed to be doing much better. I managed to get close and inspect his wing for line and in general after following him around. I couldn’t find any line and the wing seemed much better, so it might not actually be broken and was just somehow bent very weirdly on the tree without breaking. I’ve called many rehabbers with no avail, so I plan to go back every few days and check but I think he might end up being okay.
