Geese have a remarkable social structure, and this video supports it. I have not only seen a Canadian goose family adopt an orphan gosling before, but last year, I watched as a goose family adopted and raised an orphaned white duck along with their goslings on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. The duck herself was adopted in the fall by a duck rescue because it wasn't clear that the duck could/would migrate south with the geese for the winter.
I had a geese family who visited my yard every day. They abandoned one of their goslings; they kept attacking it, as did the other goslings, when it kept coming back to them. Eventually it got separated and floated down the creek alone. Probably got ate by a snapping turtle, but I hope her survived alone out there. Maybe got adopted.
Pls turn any orphaned wild goslings over to a rehabilitator. There is a lot that can go into a goose family accepting a gosling. They may accept .. or they may attack... Just want you to know that. Good luck! Hope everything works out.
I have just hatched 2 goslings and I want to introduce them to back into the flock but mom left the nest so don’t not know the best or safest way to do that? Some advice if you have any would be great thank you to anyone who knows the answer

It's actually Canada Geese not Canadian Geese

I had a broody mother Goose named Milly for years. She never left babies. Wonderful soul...
Sweet to see the gosling welcomed into its new family! 💕
Wild geese are smarter and friendlier than domesticated geese
Wowww this helped a lot now I can set this abandoned gosling with a new family

Generally geese like the little ones. They adopt and/or babysit. Sometimes a pair will end up guarding/caring for a large group.
