Goose Follows Little Girl Home | The Dodo

Always so funny when an animal shows up somewhere and goes "I live here now" and all the humans just go "Yeah, fair enough, welcome home."

Goose and duck cannot control their poop tho.

[@luceatlux7087]

@@TellenJones Right. I've wondered about that with all birds... Like, when we see videos if people with parrots or whatever that they let out of their cages and let them roam the house, do they often have problems with pooping on things?

[@TellenJones]

@@luceatlux7087 They lack of the muscles to control it so they cannot be trained like cats or dogs to use a litter box.

Me too. The little girl is quite mature for her young age. Gumbo definitely loves her and enjoys being picked up. This is a special relationship between them, indeed.🙏🙇‍♀️💗🦢

[@mcoutant8964]

She was very likely raised by a human and then dumped at a pond. Birds, raised by humans, do not flourish in the wild.

[@bleddingmaster]

Very likely

[@floydiandreamscapes5145]

She had to have been raised by a person. Normally, you can't get anywhere near a Canada goose.

[@jspo3446]

This goose is Canadian, where does she carry her passport????

[@niffy1200]

She is a Chinese goose so fully domesticated and abandoned, luckly they found each other

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

Sadly you’re probably right. People dump waterfowl at ponds all the time. I’m glad this one found a loving family.

[@rainbowfox1934]

This goose was someone's pet that was abandoned or lost. She was lucky to find this family to love her.

[@laurie1536]

Odds are she was a human imprint gosling that was abandoned by her humans at some point. I lost my 23 yr. old white chinese gander "Marwyn", a year ago Nov. He was a rescue from a local wildlife group that didn't handle domestics and as a volunteer with other geese I adopted him as an estimated, week old gosling. He was my constant companion for all those years, always preferring my company over my other geese. Geese are incredibly smart, easily learn their names, simple commands and phrases They also have amazing long term memories and when raised from goslings bond with you as much or more than a dog or any other animal.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]

I’ve met a lot of geese this friendly at the golf course and lake. They let me pick them up and pet their necks. Unlike the ducks who just waddle away. Feral geese are friendly because of wanting food handouts.

[@saulloya9877]

My condolences for your loss. Marwyn seemed like he found a home with you. God bless you and Marwyn

@@SeattleRaindrop206 "more fiercely protective of that child than a dog would be" actually does sound like that's what they were saying.

[@sylvianobles4983]

God knew that both needed this friendship, may it last long and bless both

[@LostForessst]

Most likely, this is a young brown chinese goose, a domestic breed. She most likely was bought as a gosling at a feed store and abandoned at the local pond. Unfortunatly this is a common practice because many don’t realize that domestic geese are poor flyers if they can fly at all, and they also have higher nutritional needs than wild geese, as a result most geese abandoned at ponds starve. Gumbo was lucky to have found a family willing to take her in.

[@karen_3]

she was most definitely dumped and wandered around trying to find shelter

[@susank2019]

@@sylvianobles4983 Yep, and I guess God was less than concerned about the other pet geese dumped in ponds that are left to fend for themselves without the requisite skillset needed for survival.

As a Canadian that's only had experience with our native geese.... This goose seems like a unicorn, it's incredibly precious, and I doubt I'll ever see one in my life 😂 Edit: ok I get it's domesticated, I just refuse to believe a goose can be domesticated bc ours commit crime

[@deanfirnatine7814]

It is a domestic breed

[@falkonor8307]

As a Canadian who has seen thousands of them, they mostly just attack you or hiss if you get too close, this is not normal

[@JulianaBlewett]

Domestic geese can be very sweet if they imprint on humans when they're young. And some are like my cousins' pet goose, who broke my uncle's arm. (Geese are good judges of character. My uncle was not that good of a man.)

[@RamdomView]

That's because this goose is a domesticated breed.

[@Branwhin]

LOL another Canuck here, can confirm ... Canada geese are NOT typically friendly. I've heard it said that's where all our natural hostility went, so all that's left is kindness (heh). I've also met a domestic goose up here who just LOVED to hiss and puff and be as intimidating as he could. Silly fellow. This is such a sweet goose!

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

Typically, I leave the video gushing over the animals. But this little girl has to be sweetest, friendliest, happiest, and most adorable child I have ever seen. To be quite frank, I can't stand most kids. Usually, I have a genuine hxte for them. But she has melted my cold heart, lol. And that goose knows it, too. Like a sixth sense. I just can't imagine a goose, former civilized domesticated pet or not, letting most people so close. Geese are basically koalas if they were waterfowl, but not smooth-brained and loaded with chlamydia. Edit: I just hope that sweet and adorable kid isn't too friendly with and/or super trustworthy of other PEOPLE. I pray she is aware of "Stranger Danger."

[@peterlee8198]

That's so cute. Probably a goose that was released by their owner after incubation. I live across the street from a pond and fished there nearly everyday for hours. A couple would come and introduce their two geese to the other ducks/geese and finally asked me if I could feed their geese daily. They dropped off huge bags of seed on my front porch. They figured out where I live and before school they would be waiting on my patio. I also taught them how to fly. I would just run away from them and they would chase me and one day they just took flight. I will never forget this my whole life. I wish I knew how cool it actually was looking back at it.
