Security offers in Hartbeespoort not only look after the humans in the community, they also come to the rescue of our feathered friends.
Aequitas Security Solutions officers received a call from a Schoemansville resident on Monday morning about Egyptian geese goslings that fell into their swimming pool after their nest in a tree collapsed. Security officer Jacques van der Merwe was dispatched to the scene and found the cute goslings floating in the pool while the parents were expressing their worry from the house’s roof.
The goslings were safely rescued from the pool and with the goslings tucked into the pool net, Jacques used them to lure the parent to the Hartbeespoort Dam shore where they were reunited.
“Sadly, one of the goslings had sustained a broken leg and it was taken to Makalani Bird Park for the best possible treatment,” said Aequitas spokesperson, Ettienne Louw.
