The force said the goose was taken to the vet and the taxi driver had to repair the damage to the car.
In a tweet, Radford Road Police said: “When a colleague asked if a call had been received about a goose flying into a taxi over the radio, we had to see it to believe it.
“Goose was taken to the vets & unfortunately the taxi had to repair the damage.
“We think he may be trying to find his way to #goosefair #randomjob.”
The driver, Nayyar Tabasam, said he had just dropped off a passenger at the city’s university when he heard a huge crash from behind.
He said: “I thought somebody had thrown something at the car for a start so I slowed down to see if I could see anyone around but there was no-one.
“I then stopped and took a look in the back, where the glass from the window was, and I saw this big bird in my car.
“Of course it was a shock at the time, I didn’t see anything as the goose was coming from the side and it made a lot of noise.
“A friend and I made a call to the police, who advised us on taking the goose to the vets, and just after this a couple of officers passing by came over, helped and reassured us which was great.”
