This unfortunate Greylag Goose at 'Black Lough' Dungannon County Tyrone, Northern Ireland had a beer can firmly wedged unto it's lower beak for about three weeks. Local nature lovers tried to catch the bird to free it from the unwanted appendage but in vain. It's food intake was very low and preening, to make the feathers waterproof, was nil. Time was running out. It would surely starve. Everyone, experts included, were in a quandry. Men with hand nets failed. Others with 'ringing nets' were also unsuccessful. One entrepreneur used a floating duck hide...you can imagine... The birds were spooked. The goose couldn't be caught. It was weakening. Folk were worrying. At last experts arrived and in one fell swoop so to speak the bird was netted from a speed boat, brought to local veterinarian's, checked, fed with 'antibiotics' and released into an ajacent field at the lough squaking all the way to the water AND receiving return noises from it's wider family! A fairy tale ending much to the relief of bird and animal lovers in Dungannon.
