Veterinarians treating a wild Canadian goose were in for a surprise when its mate visited and stood by the glass door through the entire period of surgery.
The New England Wildlife Centre’s branch in Massachusetts, US, said it found the goose, who they refer to as Arnold, limping near a pond and decided to take it in for a check-up at its backyard hospital.
The staff discovered two fractures on Arnold’s foot that threatened its survival. As they prepped the goose for surgery, they heard a “feint tapping at the clinic door”, the wildlife centre said.
Arnold’s mate was agitated that it could not get inside” to see the other goose on the operation table.
“It remained there throughout the entire procedure, watching us work, never moving from the doorway,” the centre said in a Facebook post.
The hospital staff then decided to let Arnold recover near the door so that it could be close to its mate. — ndtv.com

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
