There's a goose in my bathroom.

We found an injured goose. So he's in the bathroom waiting for the SSPCA to collect him. Tried to get a pic but he's right at the door and I don't want him to get out. I think he's possibly a pink footed goose and suspect that he's been blown by the wind into a building.

Poor goose! Well done for looking out for him OP.

Hellsinky · 16/02/2022 18:13

Amazing! Well done you 😊

DuckDuckGooseGoose · 16/02/2022 18:14

I'll try to get a pic later. He's very handsome and understandably rather grumpy.

Cute I'm sure!!

Be careful what combination of chemicals you use later to clean the bathroom!

We found a seagull wandering around our living room, but I'm more impressed by your goose.

Nadjahomesoil · 16/02/2022 18:35

Aw! Well done op. That's kind of you. Hopefully they'll fix him up and be able to release him back where he lives.

Hope you get a pic, would love to take a gander

DuckDuckGooseGoose · 16/02/2022 18:46

The goose has just bern collected. I was starting to get rather attached to him but I'm happy that he's going to get the help he needs.

The SSPCA officer thinks that his injuries are relatively minor and that he'll be able to be released.

He's left radioactive green poop all over the bathroom but nothing that can't be cleaned. The colour is almost impressive.

Apologies for the bad pics.

I'm rather envious of your seagull. I love gulls though preferably outdoors.

Lol. We did. And threw in various other goose related puns.

Oh, he really is beautiful, but I find large birds quite frightening so I’m in awe of you for helping him out. I like to think I’d have done the same thing, but in reality, I’d have probably got my DH and DCs to help the goose while I hid in the garage/car 😬

Well done to you Flowers

WonderfulYou · 16/02/2022 19:14

Aww that’s amazing! I’ve never heard of a goose in someone’s house before!

Hopefully he’s not injured and he’ll be set free once safe you do so.

This is definitely one of my favourite ever threads on MN Grin

Thesearmsofmine · 16/02/2022 19:16

Aww he is lovely, you are much braver than me! Geese make me nervous!

ClariceQuiff · 16/02/2022 19:18

Glad to hear his injuries are minor and he's being looked after.

We all wanted to have a gander at the goose !

FlibbertyGibbitt · 16/02/2022 19:19

Blimey you’re brave !!!! I got chased by geese on the way to vote in the 80s and been scared ever since 🤣🤣🤣

I love this post 🙂
DuckDuckGooseGoose · 16/02/2022 19:23

I don't blame people for being scared of large birds. Geese are very intimidating.

I'm already missing Manfred(As I've decided that's what he's called.) but he'll be released here so perhaps I'll see him around.

How lovely agree he is handsome

I once found a frog 🐸 in my living room. He has been sitting in their all night. I didn’t live anywhere near a pond at the time

ABitOfAShitShow · 16/02/2022 19:25

Aww. Great job, OP. He’s a cutie.

Kshhuxnxk · 16/02/2022 19:25

I came home one day to a note on the bathroom door which I read as "theres a herring in the bath". Thinking there was some random fish it was actually a bloody Heron!! We've saved foxes, crows, sparrowhawks etc.. They seem to know we will save them!!....

My friend once woke up to an owl sitting on her kitchen worktop...she thinks it got in via a flue on the aga.
