I like watching them fly overhead in formation. If I'm inside, and I hear them honking, I go out on the deck and watch them fly over. The other day I saw a ton of geese flying over near Atchison. I told everyone in the car to look at the geese, and everyone did, and I did also even though I was driving. Do you like to watch geese fly overhead?
-
Yes. Ducks too.
-
I love shooting them
-
Geese have always been v. good with their formations
-
My mom literally sent me a picture of a crap load of geese behind her house today :surprised:
-
Great thread.
Have you ever noticed how mostly their spacing is perfect? Sure, a few fall behind a little, but most of them maintain the exact same amount of space between each other.
-
I'll be impressed when they form a giant dong thrusting into a squawk mouf.

Yes. The Mighty Geese, I like to call them.

Apparently they rotate which goose is boss goose regularly

I heard that too. Very smart. Great job geese.
Also a new UPDATE to the thread: I saw some more geese this morning.

How about the downgrade goose that forms the third short V arm off one of the back geese. What a rough ridin' idiot goose.

They’re like nature’s blue angels. Instead of bombs it’s goose poop and instead of pilots it’s just goose brains.

And instead of jet fuel it's just scraps of stale heel bread.
-
Yep, goose brains take the wheel.
Another interesting fact about geese is that they do not like it when you let my little poodle mix King Charles Cavalier Spaniels (aka Cavapoos) flexor lead have enough length to go up and sniff them. Do not recommend you do this.

If there is a walking path around a lake it’s like a litter box for all geese in the entire state to fly over to and take giant goose dumps on. They love it.

How about that goose-geese transition? Amazing

I worked on a job site for a corporate headquarters that had a bunch of lakes around and gooses would relax around the lakes and I was amazed at how much goose poop is all over the dang place. Also the gooses were really dang mean
-
I used to occasionally golf at Rolling Meadows in JC and that place was goose poop central sometimes.
-
they make me very uneasy. geese are enormous and seem to be very confrontational.
i respect your space, Mr. Goose. i recognize you're the alpha here. now please stop looking/honking at me.
-
If a goose started running after me with its wings stretched out, I would just roundhouse kick its dang face.
-
When I was 6 I went with my dad hunting in Colorado (lived there at the time) and my dad shot one out of the sky. So I excitingly ran over to it to pick it up for pa. The only problem was, he wasn't fully killed yet and the rough rider bit me on the hand. :lol:
-

I think I would play dead

Are there any predators that prey on geese?
-
When they are on the road, they never get out of the way for cars.
-
I like to yell at them take me to bed or lose me forever

sounds like they'd like to give your car a good goosing

Nice, who's cleaning all those birds. Also, are some of these going to be on the Christmas table?

Which is your favorite type of goose: Canada Goose or Snow Goose? Mine is the Canada Goose. These are the only two type of geese I know so if you have a different favorite type of goose please share.

Silly goose

I'm not aware of other types of geese besides Canada and Snow but I'll take a gander.

There is a special Hawaii goose that is not one of these. It is grey. It sucks and is not my favorite. My favorite is the snow goose.

anyone here ever heard of the golden goose :lol:

Nope :dunno:

how about goose gossage :lol:

As gostlings geese will bond with the first suitable moving stimulus, no matter if this is a goose, person or even an object. They remain dedicated to that person or object as their surrogate “parent” throughout their lives.
Imagine waving a picture of Ryan Gossling (sp?) In front of a gostling and establishing a lifelong bond. Wowza.

_33's adorable goose fact of the day: Geese mate for life, raise their goslings together, and will even go as far as to mourn the death of a mate in solitude for several days.

This is about as true as Mother Goose! Contrary to popular belief, farmyard geese are not monogamous and a male usually has a harem of three or four. They are, however, extremely dedicated partners and will mourn the loss of a mate.

I'm not talking about domestic geese. If you'd like to share goose facts specifically related to domestic geese I suggest starting your own thread.

Sprance, you sound like a goose/geese rancher. Or did you have a pet goose when you were little?

Neither. I had a hunch, based on geese's known reputation as frisky fowl, but I didn't bother to fact check until after I posted. Turns out I goosed right!

And bears. Don't forget about bears.

I am not going to sit here and tell you I KNOW what others are afraid of, because I don’t read minds, especially geese minds (they don’t think like we do).

birds evolved from dinosaurs. the goose specifically evolved from the brontosaurus. thus the long necks. the bronto front legs became wings and the tail became the rear feathers. the back legs are still the back legs just slightly different (webbing). this took dozens of generations to happen, it didn't just instantly transform.
imagine a goose the size of a bronto. holy moly. alpha predator.

That goose would eat sharks for breakfast, steve dave.

The geese on the lower left in Tom's pic are White Fronted geese, also known as speckle bellies or specs.
