Amy Blower, team leader at Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital, said it was “a shock” to hear about the crash landing and believed the bird might have been tired and misjudged its descent.<\/p>\n
“It’s very unusual to be in the middle of a housing estate and flying that late at night.<\/p>\n
“Surprisingly, he’s just come off with a few minor scrapes and wounds from the glass he’s smashed through.<\/p>\n
“He had a small laceration to his beak and one just on the left side of his body – but other than that, he was pretty much absolutely fine,” she said.<\/p>\n
The goose is expected to be released back into the wild after a course of pain medication and antibiotics.<\/p>\n
Lynne said she had now boarded up her front door and was arranging a repair through her insurance company.<\/p>\n
She said: “I really don’t know how it could have gone through that glass and survived.<\/p>\n
“The chances of that happening, it’s just not what you expect, is it?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amy Blower, team leader at Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital, said it was “a shock” to hear about the crash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[61,60,82,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-201905","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
