I found this poor goose laying in a park today and acting odd. When I got closer I saw that its left leg was coiled up and the area around it was covered in blood. As far as I can tell, the goose got trapped in some fishing line or something and nearly amputated its leg. None of the wildlife rescue groups could get it so a coworker and I done wrassled it into a critter gitter and brought it to a rescue. With any luck it will make some kind of recovery even if it can't be released.

Daily reminder birds are free you can just take them.

You can take them or you can leave them with a car battery. Both are fully legal.
