Beijing small courtyard suddenly dropped "big bird" Expert: you can eat Round goose meat or make foie gras sauce

The afternoon before yesterday, a "big bird" suddenly entered the courtyard of Mr. Guo's house, a citizen. Mr. Guo felt that this might be a wild animal, so he quickly fed water and food again and protected it. However, according to the identification of wildlife conservation experts, this is just a common "Round goose", which is generally eaten as meat after breeding. Although a false alarm, Mr. Guo felt that all citizens should have the awareness of protecting wild animals.

Mr. Guo's family lives in a small camp in the north of Shunyi, and his family has a small yard. On the afternoon of October 13, he suddenly found a "big bird" coming in the yard. He didn't know if it was flying in or drilling in. This "big bird" looks larger than the average duck, has a gray body, and weighs about dozens of pounds. Judging from the color, Mr. Guo felt that it might be a wild animal "gray goose", so he quickly protected it. Mr. Guo fed the "big bird" wild vegetables and rice, and the "big bird" ate them all. Physically, the "Big Bird" was also not injured. Mr. Guo is worried that this may be a wild animal that has fallen behind, and hopes that animal protection agencies can claim and adopt it.

But after the identification of wildlife experts, this is not a wild animal "gray goose", but just a "Round goose". Round goose is generally farmed to make fat liver type goose, can be extracted fat liver to make foie gras sauce, in addition to eating goose meat. Wildlife conservation experts say the Rande geese don't need to be released into the wild and can be kept at home if they like.

After two days of living in Mr. Guo's house, Mr. Guo decided to raise it in his own courtyard. Mr. Guo said that although he was not a wild animal, he was not disappointed. If he encounters a "big bird" flying into the yard in the future, he will consult wildlife conservation experts and rescue him.
