I'm considering a pair of Shetland geese from Holderreads. Does anyone have any experience with the Shetlands to know how relatively quiet and gentle they are?
quietest goose breed

I have some and some babies too. Geese and quiet....hhmmm. Well, not as talkative as my African for sure. If something scares them they 'go off'....like another person walking up by them ..."stranger danger". During setting, all alarms go off, if you approach the nests like 8 feet or another bird. Occasionally, one will call out maybe if there are crows or vultures around....Not as quiet as my ducks, but not not crazy noisy all the time like the Chinese I once had......so I guess it is relative. Their call is a bit higher pitch more like a wild bird I think...
Funny... "Geese and Quiet"
I have some geese here, just 2 that I came across, they´re like Normandy or shetland geese, don´t know which. they´re smaller than my other geese, and when they call, which is rare, they are a much higher pitch, like you say. I figure it´s because they´re smaller. my Pilgrims are the quietest.
Any photos available of your Shetlands? would love to see them.
