Now at two months old, our red-breasted goslings are growing fast and thriving behind the scenes at the Avian Propagation Center, where our Bird Care team has been hand-raising them with around-the-clock dedication.
But one little gosling has been especially remarkable. After sustaining a fracture to his left leg, our Veterinary Medicine team applied a taped splint, and this tiny patient has made a full recovery.
Red-breasted geese are a Vulnerable species, making every single gosling a meaningful conservation win. We couldn't be prouder of this little one's resilience, and of the incredible teams caring for them every step of the way.🪿
