2. To all with an interest, I recommend the movie Fly Away Home which I've enjoyed many

times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_Away_Home

3. Great story:

The reason the gosling was in such rough shape is that they must reach water & food within 3 or 4 days of hatching as the mother has no way of feeding them (similar to pretty much all species of waterfowl). Mother's dilemma was to lead him to water or abandon her unhatched eggs (normally all the viable eggs would hatch within 24 hours or so so the problem does not arise).

As kind as the guy was however to this wee bird, an even better thing would have been to take him to a wildlife recue centre where he could be raised with other goslings or adopted out to another goose family (goose pairs with their own goslings will almost always readily take in another or two, or three etc....).
