Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):Good grief! It’s gosling time already. We admitted these two separately this week after they became separated from their families. We hope to release them into the care of a wild Canada goose foster family. In the meantime we’re keeping our faces covered and avoiding any unnecessary interaction with these kids to prevent imprinting. Geese are particularly susceptible to this, so please never care for them yourself, even for a day. They must remain wild to have a chance of returning to goose world. 📷: Rachel Frank
