The University of Calgary’s Outdoor Centre recently discovered a family of Canada geese living on a rooftop. While the goslings appeared poised to fly – with their parents safely on the ground below – some caring human decided to intervene to offer some soft landings.
And, Finlay MacNeill captured some delightful video of the urban wildlife encounter. Nearly, 170,000 people have clicked on the centre’s Facebook posting.

Our climbing team is so cool…they set up crash pads for the goslings. pic.twitter.com/ek9Vrj6pgc

Goslings jumped from the roof onto our crash pads below! http://t.co/IMjvHh6g1l #wildlifebabies @UCalgary — UC Outdoor Centre (@ucoutdoorcentre) May 11, 2015
And, then the centre posted this video.
We set up crash pads so that the goslings on our roof would have a safe landing. Want to see the cutest thing ever?

And then, more good news.
“We’re happy to report that the gosling and all his siblings have made it safely to our constructed wetlands area on West Campus!”
