WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP THE GEESE

Residents of Rochester/ Visitors: Please continue to feed the crippled, flightless geese, especially during the winter. You should offer them nutritious food in the form of grain (cracked corn, wheat, oats) which you may purchase from a feed store. You may also add rabbit pellets to the feed during the winter.

If you see a sick or severely crippled (unable to walk, toppling over, etc), goose, please capture it and transport it to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota in Roseville.
