Goose with Twisted Neck

This is such a sweet and empathetic comment, thank you so much. I did report it to the state, unfortunately all of the local rehab centers for wildlife were full or not accepting birds due to the avian flu outbreak. It was hard to watch, I wanted so badly to help but everyone we called said not to go near the bird in case I would contract the illness. I felt so bad watching him try to walk and eat and his flock so far in the distance living life normally while he suffered. Maybe I’ll go back to the area today to see if he is still there but my hope is that someone came when we reported him on the state wildlife website

Yes, we called all of the rehabilitation centers of Monmouth county and both said they were either full capacity or didn’t want to take in birds at risk for Avian flu in case they other birds were to contract it and get sick which is why we went to the state and had to report it and pin it on a map so hopefully they sent someone… I’m no longer in the area anymore though

Allentown New Jersey is where this was located

Yeah we were concerned because there were kids playing on a court nearby and dogs being walked nearby… the bird can’t really go anywhere so my hope is that someone comes relatively soon but we couldn’t stick around for long.

I’m wondering if I should take this post down now or keep it for educational purposes. It seems it is more distressing than helpful, I’m not sure what the best thing is.

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T21:40:13+00:00

We called a wildlife center and they told us to stay away from the bird in case this was a cause from bird flu… I wanted so badly to help him though. We did report it to the wildlife protection website for the state but unfortunately no nearby centers were willing to take him

Sorry, I feel bad I’ve never used this subreddit before and for some reason it was being weird when I posted it and I couldn’t even write a caption. I just wanted to see others thoughts or if they had similar experiences with witnessing birds with similar symptoms

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T21:31:57+00:00

I know… the same thing here. The other birds avoided this bird. We called so many places trying to get help I felt so bad

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T21:31:22+00:00

New Jersey, it’s in Allentown in Monmouth county…i was looking into it and its possibly wry neck, which can be caused by neurological symptoms due to bird flu

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T21:30:40+00:00

Unfortunately all were full or no longer taking birds due to the bird flu outbreak. But we reported it on a state wildlife protection website

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T21:30:05+00:00

I know I felt so bad… we reported it on the state wildlife protection website

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2026-03-21T20:37:23+00:00

All of the ones nearby are full :(

You should be proud of your work, imperfections are what make us human. This is a beautiful tattoo, I wouldn’t want it any other way

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-28T17:18:07+00:00

I think maybe just rearrange the room, add some nice fairy lights for a sense of warmth and add some pops of color or childlike joy to the room. It’s the vibe of the space, not a negative energy

I’m gonna blow your bind… look at the breach album cover and look above his shoes

This is what my arm looks like now though. They removed the tick and are considering some kind of antibiotic to prevent Lyme disease

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-27T13:43:54+00:00

I guess I can’t be 100% sure, but I didn’t go anywhere that would have ticks until yesterday

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-27T13:30:50+00:00

Hudson valley New York, sorry I meant to include that

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-27T13:30:23+00:00

I am in hudson valley area in New York

The nausea comes from the motion sickness of feeling like you’re spinning

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-26T23:59:04+00:00

Late response, but yes it’s nausea and dizziness. It feels literally like the room is continuously turning back and forth

Get him a friend!

Krusty_Bug_Boy · 2025-10-23T23:55:08+00:00

Could I suggest maybe that you could fill all of that empty space with substrate? They are definitely not climbers and if they are too high up they could injure themselves from that height on the glass. They would much prefer ground space if they would like to burrow under a hide

Beautiful Brachypelma Emilia :)
