The honking goose: a haiku

The Goose is the universe’s most majestic and loved creature. I thought they deserved a haiku too. So I wrote one!

The Goose Likes To Honk
She Honks At You Honks At You
Chasing You For Bread

If you ever see a goose in need, whether injured, acting strangely, or unable to fly, please call for help. They deserve safety, space, and maybe even a little bread. It would mean the world to me 🪿

  • NC Wildlife Helpline: 866‑318‑2401
  • NC Wildlife Resources Commission: 919‑707‑0040
  • Carolina Waterfowl Rescue (Charlotte area)
  • Triangle Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic (Raleigh/Durham)
  • For after-hours support contact the Wildlife Enforcement Division at 800‑662‑7137.

Please avoid calling local animal control unless they specifically list wildlife rehabilitation services. Many offices are not equipped to help geese safely, and humane rehabbers are always a better option.
