Injured Goose

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Amy Lynch City: St. Joseph, IL
There has been a Goose living at the retention pond right behind my house. I just noticed his injury a couple days ago. The goose is obviously injured with an injured wing and foot. Also, it seems like the rest of the geese in the pond have shunned him. Is there someone I can contact about this injured goose?

Is the goose still there? Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done. There are no licensed willdlife rehabilitators in Champaign County that can work with birds, except the University of Illinois Wildlife Clinic, but they will not come out to pick up an injured animal.
