This goose has adopted my parents, and is attempting to establish residency in their cabin. We suspect it is domestic and escaped from its coop. It’s a seasonal cabin and they’re planning to close up soon. What should they do? Central Ontario. Near Bracebridge.

UPDATE: A neighbor of theirs is set up for chickens, so could accommodate a goose. And shortly after making that arrangement an ad appeared in the community message board. So the goose is going home.

    Your parents need to sit down with the goose and have a frank, serious discussion about their winter plans.

    Geese are already kinda crazy and aggressive; the last thing your parents will want next spring is to come to their cottage and find an angry goose going “WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!?”

    Alternatively, is there a post office, coffee shop, or general store nearby? Maybe the owner put up some MISSING GOOSE flyers.
