My Goose Friend - The Heartwarming Friendship Between A Guy And A Bird He Saved

Sep 27, 2018

Humans have always had an interesting relationship with birds. They have been used as messengers, hunting companions and even sometimes as pets. Some species of birds are regularly used as food like chickens and turkeys.

Other birds tend to be used as pets like parrots and other exotic birds. Perhaps the most common and well-known birds are geese.

These birds are scattered throughout North America and have always lived in relative harmony with humans.

One man named Mike took this relationship between geese and humans to a whole new level.

Mike has a house by a lake and spends a lot of his free time in the water. One day, he noticed a baby goose, or gosling, that had been left alone in the water. This is a very dangerous situation for a gosling to be in without any supervision. Worried for the safety of the young bird, Mike decided to take care of the bird that he eventually named Kyle.

Goose parents often leave the weakest of their children in order to increase chances of survival for their entire family.

Despite having no previous experience with raising geese, Mike did his best to offer Kyle a happy life. Mike always gave Kyle the freedom to fly and swim wherever she desired. There were never any cages or enclosures used. Now that Kyle can fly, she often soars around Mike's boat when out on the lake.

She'll actually use the draft behind the boat to make it easier to fly. Even though Kyle is perfectly capable of living on her own, she still stays with Mike.

The goose family has been expanding as Kyle brought home a boyfriend called Eugene. The couple ended up having a small gosling who Mike named Jack. Much to Mike's dismay, Eugene and Kyle ended up leaving Jack alone in the water to fend for himself.

Mike gave Kyle another chance to take care of her gosling properly before intervening. Once Jack was left alone in the water again, Mike decided to adopt the gosling.

Mike faced similar challenges raising Jack as he did with Kyle. Goslings feel anxious and vulnerable whenever they are left alone. They need constant attention and love in order to have a healthy life. Mike gave Jack the same freedom to roam that he had provided with Kyle.

Mike admits that he must care for Jack until he has the ability to fly. Until this time, goslings are completely vulnerable and dependent on others.

Although Mike has developed a strong emotional bond with these geese, he doesn't recommend this relationship to others. He knows that taking care of a gosling requires a lot of attention and patience. Mike now awaits the day that Jack will be able to fly and take care of himself.

This video is yet another heart-warming story about how a human and animal can develop a strong connection. What started out as a small act of kindness has developed into a relationship that Mike and the geese will treasure forever.
