Canada Goose #17-0232

By April 4, the veterinary and rehabilitation staff determined that Canada Goose #17-0232 was in good body condition and was healthy enough for release. The wounds and swelling on the right leg and wing were healed, and the bird maintained sufficient waterproofing after being housed in the Aviary with a small pool. The goose also flew well during a test flight in an outdoor enclosure.

The goose's original rescuer released the bird where it where it was initially found in Charlottesville.
