holly_evolvingG is for goose. When I was temping one summer at Allstate, there were these geese that would hang out by the pond out front. Once, a pair of them got hit by a car. It must have been a slow collision, because they were injured but not fatally. One had damage to a leg, and one to a wing. I am pretty sure the leg was the male and the wing was the female.
My friend Wendy and I worked together, and we had put planks leading in and out of the water so ducklings could climb out of the pond and not get trapped. In the course of finding the right planks, we had put in some 1ft by 2 ft boards, which got left and were floating around. So the male was trying to get onto the plank to get out of the pond and couldn't. It kept slipping away from underneath him.
I sat down next to him and he wasn't afraid of me at all. I held the plank still and pushed it down a bit so he could scoot on to it, and he let me lift him out of the water that way. When the female saw that he was okay, she swam over and let me do the same thing. We had called animal control already, and they came and picked them up and took them to a sanctuary for rehab.
G is for the wild geese that trusted me, which was pretty great.
