My big girl Catherine protects me from our cats and guinea Eric. She loves her momma!

Every Goose I have come across is terribly aggressive! I had a male Chinese Goose that tried to kill me even after I raised it. I now have two Goslings, a Tufted Roman and a Pomeranian, both are females. I must be a glutton for punishment but I really would love to have a nice Goose, just once!

Here in Fort Collins, CO we have a large population of non-migrating geese that have an easy-going temperament. They were originally bred to be live hunting decoys, and the original population here were hand-raised by someone working for the CPW (Colorado Parks & Wildlife). Somewhere along the line they became tame and non-migrating. Details can be found here: http://www.coloradoan.com/story/life/2017/03/06/father-goose-fort-collins-goose-population/98640248/

These geese end up nesting in problematic areas sometimes and I'm sure the CPW culls the population occasionally. It might be worthwhile to see if you can get unwanted eggs from them.

(P.S. Sorry to resurrect an old thread. There seems to be a running joke that Canadian Geese are the spawn of Satan, but I've never run across a mean goose here. I did a search on the subject and your post came up. Hope this helps.)
