Animal lovers fulfilled their dream of having a goose and had a lot of fun with them for a long time. But one day they noticed that the animals were becoming increasingly aggressive. They seemed to react particularly to the color orange. While searching for the cause, they noticed that the neighbor, who also liked to wear a lumberjack jacket, was teasing the geese and throwing stones at them. In order to get the animals out of the danger zone, they decided to put them somewhere else. But it didn't work well there either - so the animal lovers turned to us and Nils and Gänselein (sadly now deceased) became Aiderbichlers.

Linda | Goose

It was supposed to be a perfectly normal afternoon. A long-time Aiderbichler set off outside to take her dog for a walk. Everything was as usual when suddenly her dog ran towards a ditch, as if remote-controlled. A swan goose was sitting in the ditch, completely terrified. It had obviously injured its wing and could…

Martin | Goose

Domestic goose Martin got stuck in a rake and was lying in a stream. People found him and he was rescued by the fire department, who immediately took the goose to a vet. One of the wings was injured. Martin spent the first period after the rescue in an animal shelter without other geese. However,…

Sonja | Goose

The Toulouse geese Sonja and Markus had a sad existence. They were not looked after regularly, so an Aiderbichler woman kept checking on them and bringing them food. When she finally found out that the land was to be used for other purposes and the two geese would have to go, the animal lover contacted…

Stefanie | Goose

The owners of Stefan and his conspecifics were overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. They had their hands full looking after their animals. It couldn't go on like this. They turned to us and asked for help, because they were not going to give their lives for a Martini roast. Sandro, Alexander, Michael and Stefan have…

Gustav | Goose

Gustav is a Cholmongry goose and lived with an animal-loving lady. There were also other geese and ducks there and all day long you could hear the chattering of the animals, which the lady had grown very fond of. The lady was getting older and was now trying to find a new home for Gustav.…

Luise | Goose

Luise belongs to a goose breed that is threatened with extinction, namely the Steinbach battling goose. Due to her advanced age (approx. 10 years), there were no more offspring and so the breeder asked us to take Luise and Walter in at Gut Aiderbichl. Their new forever home is now Gut Aiderbichl Carinthia.

Tweety | Goose

Goose Tweety - now she has plenty of mates Tweety hatched from a goose egg in the incubator. Without conspecifics she would not have felt comfortable in her life, and so the request came to the Aiderbichler Animal Emergency Center.

Maxime | Goose

Geese are very loyal companions and pairs of geese stay together all their lives. When our beloved gander Moritz passed away, his friend Max was left alone. As we know that geese can grieve so much that they can die, we went in search of a partner - and found Maxime. She may not be…

Martin | Goose

Ganter Martin came to us in 2017. A few weeks later, he would have been slaughtered in honor of Saint Martin. Hardly anyone knows why the famous St. Martin's goose is prepared and eaten on this day, but according to tradition, thousands of geese die every year on this holiday. Martin was spared this fate…

Andreas | Goose

The Lower Bavaria Animal Rescue asked us for help. A seizure by a veterinary office was imminent. Transporters and final places for the animals were needed. There were about 90 animals that needed help. We drove there and were able to take over at least geese and chickens and bring them to safety at Gut…

Roberto | Goose

Aiderbichlers turned to the Gut Aiderbichl team in Henndorf seeking help. They told us about their problem: a few years ago, they had leased their own small nature refuge with a pond in Upper Austria, where they had fulfilled their dream of keeping ducks. But now the owner had sold his property and the couple…

Dornröschen | Goose

While filming the endangered Baroque donkeys, we learned of a fate. An animal-loving lady had been able to fulfill her dream of owning her own sanctuary. Unfortunately, after many years, her lease was terminated. She was urgently looking for a new place for her pets, but unfortunately she couldn't find anyone. The owner was already…
