      Now I have care of the last remaining bird of my late neighbors flock.

      @1929modelagirl Not surprised, they used to use geese as guard birds in whisky distilleries in Scotland. l guess it was easy cos the grains they fed them were already an ingredient. l think they used the grains, then fed them the mash. Google is being rubbish today cos, l tried to check if they still do and the search is ridiculously limited. I'm certain some still do but, the only thing l found was this: Scotch Watch was the nickname given to the gaggle of guard geese that patrolled the Ballantine's bonded warehouse in Dumbarton, Scotland from 1959 to 2012.

    I love that! I had a 7acre pond with a levee on my farm. We'd never had Canadian geese stop over. One year there was a terrible storm with straight line winds when they were migrating I guess. I woke up the morning after the storm and looked out the back window across the pasture towards the pond, and I had to focus several times to understand what I was seeing, 20 acres covered with Canadian geese. They wouldn't let us or the horses near the pond for a while. They kept coming back every year after that and I built them an island so the critters wouldn't raid their nests. Mine looked a bit different than yours but I've read that there's many different variations of the Canadian goose.

    Very smart trying to communicate with him talking to animals and attempting to communicate goes a long ways and people don’t realize that especially in rescues they don’t say a word to the animal to try to comfort them. I befriended a family of 8 crows and I talk to them every day they know my voice, and sometimes they come to visit me and will perch on a branch and converse with me. animals are freaking awesome. I used to feed 23 of these beautiful geese until they migrated. What a beautiful experience.

      Not dangerous in the deadly sense, but it is quite alarming when they decide to run you off, lol. I have a big standard Australian Shepherd that got a bit too curious and learned his lesson very quickly. I know this may sound cruel, but it was very funny. My Kuvasz was more cautious. Because I was so delighted with the Canadian geese that had wandered onto my land, my son bought me a swan goose. I'd never heard of such a thing. Anyway, this goose was huge, scary and adorable. If I sat in a lawn chair on my patio, he would run up like he was attacking and then jump up in my lap. It was quite dramatic and a crowd pleaser! But when he didn't like someone, it was on. We called him Chucky.
      I always worried he would try to join the Canadian geese when they dropped in every year, but they wouldn't have it, content to honk at each other across the pasture.
