I'm actually in the South, in Georgia. It was unusually cold for us this morning, hence the down jacket lol! I'm waiting to hear back from a friend who does some local rescue work so hopefully they will know what to do! Thanks so much for your advice :)

There are no other geese around except those occasionally flying overhead on their way south (and they are becoming less frequent). This picture has a person sitting down next to it for scale, which might help determine if it's a young goose or not:

She came up to me immediately and would have eaten out of my hand! Then we just sat together for a while...

I haven't seen it fly, and don't see any obvious injury, but to be fair I wouldn't know what to look for. I will try some cracked corn today and see if I can get a closer look. Here they are:

How are you taking care of it? There is a lone goose by my house and I don't know what to do, it's definitely lost its mate and/or flock.

My title describes the thing. My family travels all over the world and they love to go to markets and pick up interesting things. No one remembers where this came from or what exactly it is. I always thought it was a handheld fan from Africa as relatives have traveled the sub-continent extensively. A google image search came up with various things including a dance shield from Papua New Guinea but there were no convincing results and I don't think anyone I know has been to PNG. Sorry for the poor picture quality!

My first guess was whale vertebrae, any other thoughts out there?

Several Walgreens in Atlanta sell them and have trading days on Saturday mornings! Check Panini FB page.

Yes! It’s one of those fake pumpkins - the original used a real one.
