Hahhahah exactly she went to get dad! Such a lovely family, all safe now. I’ve been a fan of your documentaries for years, and now I found you on UA-cam! Sometimes it’s like a soap opera with splendid characters. Thank you so much for the incredible work, and the dedication you put into it
Can you imagine the conversation between the mum and dad ! 😭😭😭 I managed to hold it together until simon got sniffly and then i lost it too haha. 💖💖💖 Well done guys!
The devotion of the parents and you guys had me on the edge of my seat and hardly able to breathe .beats any TV drama or blockbuster ..This is real life .You both did so well .That really was a wild goose chase with meaning .TERRIFIC !! *
Marvelous bit of work! Congratulations to Simon and his helpers. This was not easy. Getting dad along too was essential since Egyptian Geese mate for life and mom couldn't deal with all the babies alone.
Oh, absolutely perfect rescue. Quite admirable patience. So much for _"A bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush"._ More like, _"A goose into the air, is worth 2 (+6 ducklings) in the net!"_ 😉 Remarkable how she went and told "dad" and they both came back to see what they could do about their "periled" offspring. Really impressed with this one. 😃
I know that feeling well; Having a task at hand - The opportunity for its conclusion presents itself, through patience and perseverance and is within your grasp - the waiting and struggles have been long and you now stand "in the moment", focusing on nothing else. - Upon success, on top of the feeling of relief, you realize you can feel your own heart beat, all the way up to the chin! The RUSH of success! Haha, and a well-earned one for you. Cheers! 😊👍
Simon, just watched this two year old video again, and I realized that what you were doing in your capture is something few rescuers would have known to do. You read those ducks, and tried everything. Only someone who has done so many duck rescues would have been able to pull that off! Your knowledge and patience are amazing!
Wow. You all did an AWESOME job! Are Egyptian geese a more intelligent species? Mama goose's solution to get reinforcements (Papa goose) was pretty amazing. And yet, what you did was even more so, thankfully. Perfect job!
Jayne Eyre actually that is not the case geese and other waterfowl don’t bring food to the young the young stick with the parents and find food on their own with a little encouragement from their parents!
I used to watch your TV show back when i was in school/college some 18 years ago. Now, after all this time, i am able to look you up on UA-cam and keep up to date with whats going on. Top marks for longevity!👍
I'll always remember this video, Simon. You work miracles. I know you love badgers but this geese family and the swan dad and cygnet rescue remain in my mind. Best wishes from California. I hope you are doing better.
That was so amazing to see, and how the mom got the dad and even though they could fly away, they stuck together. It wouldn't surprise me if the geese understood that you were busy with trying to help, because the mom at one point walks into a confined space with the babies, so could be she has been caught and released into a better place before.
What a Sweet Man Simon is & a genius with all animals!!😍💖💗 Now I know I'm not the only one who gets so emotional about the welfare of animals.😇🐾🐾👣👣🐾🐾😇💖💗😍
The surprised look on your face is almost as priceless as the parent's dedication to their little fluff balls. You do an amazing job. When you can successfully save one animal, it's wonderful. When you can successfully relocate an entire family of eight, it's just amazing.
" There coming and their quacking like crazy." now that's pretty cool. I've never knew that Geese would be so determined and united like that to rescue their youngen's, that's pretty cool to witness that. And they were booking it back to the kids like crazy too.
That video made me so emotional. Thank you so much for looking after these animals. I actually helped a team of rescuers today in Cape Town. We rescued a family of Egyptian geese together with the dad and mom. It was intense, it is not an easy job!
Awesome job Simon and helpers! Definitely very emotional worrying how to not only relocate the family but being able to secure mom, dad & babies for relocation is just incredible!
Egyptian geese is very protective with their goslings! They’re good parents! I always visited them in the park ! I see a couple with 12 goslings and they’re together until the goslings became adult! I rarely see them in the water! They come to me when visit them!
Congratulations to all parties involved! Lol! Fabulous swoon inducing rescue. First time I've ever seen an Egyptian Goose. So different than our Grey's and Canadians and Chinese! This is a first with Dad and what Mom did? Astounding! I hope you preserved this forever. Thankyou WAF and bless you all!🤗🐾🙏💯🤘💐🍻🥂🍾
You are just the sweetest man and everyone who helps! I really enjoy your videos, plus I learn so much about animals I don’t get to see over hear in California and about your society in England, thank you
Good job Simon. The adult geese were smart enough to know going into the net was risky. The second time they seemed to have concluded they had no choice, for flying off would leave their babies behind. Good job for the parent geese too, by staying with their family come what may.
Egyptian geese are very fascinating and wonderful creatures I'm among them regularly and I can safely say that they're very intelligent and social, friendly, lovable, funny, goofy, and absolutely beautiful (all this is true for every kinda of geese by the way). I adore them and love them to bits. I can totally understand why Ancient Egypts saw the Egyptian Geese as holy, because they are!
Oh that was so INCREDIBLY touching - I felt his anxiety and then joy (and tears of joy!) RIGHT in the core of my being. This man (and his team!) truly, TRULY cares about these animals. Sigh. I still can't believe that the whole entire family was together. What a sweet, wonderful result. Bravo!!!! 👏❤😊
Another Great Rescue by the Duo, and so funny to see them go into the net and actually get trapped on purpose so you could then set them free where they will be better off. well done guys.
WOW! THAT was impressive, Simon!!!!! And suspenseful!!!! I was literally hanging onto my keyboard, watching that unfold. Brilliant! Such beautiful birds and such adorable little mites those babies are. Loved it, but I may have to go have a little lie down. You should, too. LOL! 😰❤️❤️
Nabbed! You are a perfect predator, Simon! Caught the whole family in one swoop! What a lovely sight to see them wagging their tails in water and quacking blissfully to each other!
Hehe. The look on Simon's face at 5:07! :-) Patience and persistence -- that's often the difference between an amateur and a seasoned professional. As always, well done, Simon and team! :-D
The passion you have for rescuing & saving animals in need never ceases to amaze me, my heart was in my mouth when the babies ended up next to the road. birds are incredibly smart though, I bet that's why mum went off to find dad, two against two to even the odds lol. I'm so glad the outcome was a good one.
3:06 ❤️❤️ Look at them go... I couldn't believe it when they all went into the tunnel, and so calmly too. A miracle indeed. Not that I'm emotional about it or anything, that beautiful little family... #CanIJustKissOneOfThoseBabiesOnTheHead
We have never used the keep net trick before with geese. They are usually very unsure of it and don't like the confined space. We were amazed they all went in this time!
Just wonderful! Me and 4 others from our local wildlife rehab couldn’t catch a single Canadian goose the other day with fishing line on his leg. You’re an inspiration!
Don't feel too bad. Me and two others tried to catch a hawk with an injured wing from a person's backyard, but we failed at that one. Turns out the hawk could still fly a bit on that injured wing and got up on a telephone wire, and then hopped off into god knows where.
Not sure how I missed this one. Gosh darn Simon, that was quite the rescue! Not only being choked up with emotion that was quite breathtaking 'from' you, I thought your battery pack? was a heart holter monitor for a second, hehe!
It was lovely how mum went and got dad to help rescue their babies. Waddling really fast is so cute.
Haha thank you! It was the first time we'd ever seen that happen!
It was lovely. She was like I'll get my husband to bite you in the bollocks Mr. you don't know who your dealing with.
Hahhahah exactly she went to get dad! Such a lovely family, all safe now. I’ve been a fan of your documentaries for years, and now I found you on UA-cam! Sometimes it’s like a soap opera with splendid characters. Thank you so much for the incredible work, and the dedication you put into it
@J Scotland Why dafuq would u kill hornets?? They are absolutely harmless
and they're a endangered species!
@@kedoh75 I Love what you've replied! You made me and my parents laugh!!! 🤣🤣🤣
To think if they’d caught them first time, the Dad would have probably never found his babies again.
So sweet the mum went to go get him.
Simon, you are a miracle man. Bless you.
That's very kind! Thank you!
Simon was the sweetest man. I'm glad there are 100s of videos of him. He is missed by so many people who never met him. 💜
Can you imagine the conversation between the mum and dad !
😭😭😭
I managed to hold it together until simon got sniffly and then i lost it too haha.
💖💖💖
Well done guys!
Thank you for watching! It was quite an emotional rollercoaster for all involved that day...
The devotion of the parents and you guys had me on the edge of my seat and hardly able to breathe .beats any TV drama or blockbuster ..This is real life .You both did so well .That really was a wild goose chase with meaning .TERRIFIC !! *
Thank you so much, that's very kind! I'm glad you liked our video :)
Marvelous bit of work! Congratulations to Simon and his helpers. This was not easy. Getting dad along too was essential since Egyptian Geese mate for life and mom couldn't deal with all the babies alone.
Thank you very much. It was definitely one of the more difficult rescues we have done with geese. It was amazing to get the whole family :)
Holy cow. The patience of a saint, dear Simon, and the suffering too. Thank you for your big heart and dry wit.
Thank you very much! :)
I love how geese are so fiercly protective of their babies. They're remarkably good parents. Incredible rescue. Simon is such a kind hearted man :)
Oh, absolutely perfect rescue. Quite admirable patience. So much for _"A bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush"._
More like, _"A goose into the air, is worth 2 (+6 ducklings) in the net!"_ 😉 Remarkable how she went and told "dad" and they both came back to see what they could do about their "periled" offspring. Really impressed with this one. 😃
Thank you very much! Even watching it back makes me shiver! I don't think my heart stopped pounding for a long time afterwards.
I know that feeling well; Having a task at hand - The opportunity for its conclusion presents itself, through patience and perseverance and is within your grasp - the waiting and struggles have been long and you now stand "in the moment", focusing on nothing else. - Upon success, on top of the feeling of relief, you realize you can feel your own heart beat, all the way up to the chin!

Very well put! Thank you! :D
Geese are called goslings!
Baby geese are called goslings not ducklings!

You read those ducks, and tried everything. Only someone who has done so many duck rescues would have been able to pull that off! Your knowledge and patience are amazing!

Thank you very much. We're not sure why she came back with dad. It's never happened to us before in over 38 years of rescuing!
Remarkable! Thank you for responding.
Egyptian geese are a very intelligent species of British goose their very intelligent and are more common in London and the south of England!
Jayne Eyre actually that is not the case geese and other waterfowl don’t bring food to the young the young stick with the parents and find food on their own with a little encouragement from their parents!
They mate for life too. Lovely animals
This remains one of my all time favorite videos. An impossible job superbly done.
Thank you!
Your channel is medicine. Subbed and donated
Thank you so much for your kind support! That really means a lot to the team and patients at WAF :)
Mumma goose was like they took the kids Jerry!
Jerry:They wha-?!
🤣😂
I used to watch your TV show back when i was in school/college some 18 years ago. Now, after all this time, i am able to look you up on UA-cam and keep up to date with whats going on. Top marks for longevity!👍
Thank you for watching for so long! We hope you still like our work :)
I'll always remember this video, Simon. You work miracles. I know you love badgers but this geese family and the swan dad and cygnet rescue remain in my mind. Best wishes from California. I hope you are doing better.
Thank you for the time and dedication you all give to these animals. I'm so glad there are folks like you out there.
Thank you so much for your support!
Mom left and came back with Big Daddy! Love it!!
These animal rescues keep you all in shape
Very much so! Who needs the gym when you're lifting deer every day? ;)
I wonder why waterfowl like those nets so much. It’s very cute mom went to get dad.
We are not sure, any no other rescue that we know of uses that method, but we have had great success with it!
Probably because they are dark green & shady like dense reeds.
That was so amazing to see, and how the mom got the dad and even though they could fly away, they stuck together. It wouldn't surprise me if the geese understood that you were busy with trying to help, because the mom at one point walks into a confined space with the babies, so could be she has been caught and released into a better place before.
Yes, amazing that Mum flew off to get Dad, knowing exactly where he was..
Thanks..
Simon you are the best. You are angle on the earth helping all the wildlife animals. The best job on the earth. So kind and caring
Thank you all for your work rescuing waterfowl and animals
I've never noticed what beautiful coloured feathers they have. Well done :)
What a Sweet Man Simon is & a genius with all animals!!😍💖💗 Now I know I'm not the only one who gets so emotional about the welfare of animals.😇🐾🐾👣👣🐾🐾😇💖💗😍
What would we do without such wonderful people to rescue wildlife x
You have such a deep voice! I would listen to all audiobooks that you would read!
Haha I will pass that on! ;)
Very nice people for rescuing the goose.
I hope it will live the rest of its life in peace and free
from pain and sufferings with it's warm family.
Forget action movie, this is the stuff that we want!!! Well done! 😀
The surprised look on your face is almost as priceless as the parent's dedication to their little fluff balls. You do an amazing job. When you can successfully save one animal, it's wonderful. When you can successfully relocate an entire family of eight, it's just amazing.
Your dedication is always very beautiful to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you so much. You are amazing.
Simon well done. You are the best. The whole video is incredible.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
What an incredible rescue, and the geese were very lucky to have people like Simon nearby to help!
Thank you very much. Hopefully they are much happier now!
Simon you are a man with a heart of gold. Don't ever change! :)
Thank you, that's very kind!
Wildlife Aid it's the least I can do for all the amazing work you have done. ^-^
What a sweet man! I just love him! He even made me tear up!
" There coming and their quacking like crazy." now that's pretty cool. I've never knew that Geese would be so determined and united like that to rescue their youngen's, that's pretty cool to witness that. And they were booking it back to the kids like crazy too.
You're all absolute angels, you have nothing but my admiration. Well done people
Thank you! That's very kind of you :)
What a patience. You guys are just amazing.
That video made me so emotional. Thank you so much for looking after these animals. I actually helped a team of rescuers today in Cape Town. We rescued a family of Egyptian geese together with the dad and mom. It was intense, it is not an easy job!
Patience and love can make this miracle rescue happen.
Sending love. They need you, your love, and your patience.
Thank you very much :)
Awesome job Simon and helpers! Definitely very emotional worrying how to not only relocate the family but being able to secure mom, dad & babies for relocation is just incredible!

Congratulations to all parties involved! Lol! Fabulous swoon inducing rescue. First time I've ever seen an Egyptian Goose. So different than our Grey's and Canadians and Chinese!

Wow, amazing, bless that little family.
Wonderful perfect rescue....patience and love...you got it sir💕
Thank you so much :)
I’m emotional just watching you. Wonderful that dad was there too!! One happy family💕. Wonderful rescue. Thank you🥰
The man has hypnotiesed them to do what schould be done. So gently and calm. The Goose Papa acting is intelligence.
Awwww, loved it when Mummy went to get Daddy for help. Awwww!
Ultimate patience paid off. Great job as usual.
Just amazing you guys! So glad you were able to get them and release them back into the wild! Well done!
Thank you! It was a huge relief!
Those geese are beautiful. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thank you! They are beautifully marked :)
This man is an earth angel 🤍
Omg..I love this..Duck Whisperer..thank you for rescuing this family! Cheers!!
Good job Simon.
The adult geese were smart enough to know going into the net was risky. The second time they seemed to have concluded they had no choice, for flying off would leave their babies behind. Good job for the parent geese too, by staying with their family come what may.
I bought a badger key ring from your centre when we bought in a injured bird yesterday🐦😄
Thank you very much for supporting us! I hope you like it :)
You did a great thing and you can be proud of yourself - you are truly a good person. Best wishes from Berlin.
Thank you, that's very kind! Greetings from the UK!

Simons last words 'Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful' Nuff said
Love Simon. Such a big heart! ❤
That's very kind of you, thank you!
I love you, Simon, with all my heart :)
I wish Toronto, ON had such a wonderful rescue team here in Canada. You guys rock!
Beautiful rescue. You are angle on the earth helping the animals
CONGRATULATIONS!!!That was an ultimately splendid rescue!
Thank you very much!
Another Great Rescue by the Duo, and so funny to see them go into the net and actually get trapped on purpose so you could then set them free where they will be better off. well done guys.
Congratulations on pulling off a really challenging rescue and release! A pleasure to watch Simon at work.
Another awesome rescue Simon. On behalf of the animals you save, I want to say "Thank you."
Simon you are the best :) and what a sweet mom to go and find daddy so he could help her..
WOW! THAT was impressive, Simon!!!!! And suspenseful!!!! I was literally hanging onto my keyboard, watching that unfold. Brilliant! Such beautiful birds and such adorable little mites those babies are.
Loved it, but I may have to go have a little lie down. You should, too. LOL! 😰❤️❤️
Thank you for watching! It was definitely a good nights sleep that night for all involved!
I was so impressed and scared and nervous and now I'm HAPPY for the goose family. Whew.
These birds are amazing parents ❤️ you and your team are amazing, thank you for helping them ❤️
God bless you for helping our wild animals have a chance at the life they deserve. Good job.
Thank you so much :)
Mom went and got backup. It was on! lol.
It's amazing how they all just walk in to the trap so they can be relocated. Great rescue.......
Nabbed! You are a perfect predator, Simon! Caught the whole family in one swoop! What a lovely sight to see them wagging their tails in water and quacking blissfully to each other!
Thank you! Releases really are the best bit of the job :)
Hehe. The look on Simon's face at 5:07! :-) Patience and persistence -- that's often the difference between an amateur and a seasoned professional. As always, well done, Simon and team! :-D

Another great rescue, people. Thank you.
I dont know why but every time I hear the beep when something wrong has happened I get goosebumps
Well done Simon and team. Brilliant to watch.
Thank you so much :)
I love you, Simon. You're one of the best human beings on planet Earth
That's very kind of you! Thank you for your support :)
Felicidades por su labor...pericia y paciencia ....C necesitan muchos humanos como usted
Mama duck: "Just you wait until my husband hears about this!"
*flies off*
You guys doing this work are a miracle. Muchly appreciated.
Thank you, that is very kind of you :)
Well done! Goose family saved! Bless you Wild Life Rescue! Love and hugs to Simon!
Thank you so much!
Great to see the passion this man still has after all these years, it makes me tear up.
Such a gorgeous family - love the way Geese talk
Haha so do we! :D
NOW THAT WAS FLIPPING BRILLIANT !!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
EXCELLENT SERVICE, PASSION, PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE.
VERY WELL DONE SIMON. BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FAMILY. 💖🐦🐥🐤🐦🐥🐤💖
Thank you so much :)
Incredible! Well done everyone. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! :D
What a roller-coaster of a rescue, great work bringing it to a happy end!
Thank you so much. That day certainly was a rollercoaster of emotion. I'm so glad it went well!
The most beautiful rescue! I have loved Wildlife Aid for a long time, they do a fantastic job and Simon is amazing!
