    Backyard swimming pool for geese

    I've found lots of hard plastic buckets/pools but I'd like to be able to tip it out and most are too big to tip out and for the goose to get in by himself.

    Backyard swimming pool for geese

    I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for what I can use as a small pool for my goose to bath in? I have been using a kid sized paddling pool currently but the plastic becomes brittle and splits after 2-3 months in the sun. I'd preferably like something I can tip out to clean but...

    Weird goose behavior

    I have a single goose as well. He lives outside in my back garden but can see me from the window almost all the time (I work from home). He really likes biting rope dog toys that I have attached all around the garden. He also has a bath he can swim in whenever he wants. We also take him outside...

    Do male geese build nests?

    My 1 year old goose is building a nest. From all the other signs I have seen I thought it was a male goose. But for the last few weeks it has been gathering sticks into a big pile. Does this mean my goose is female?

    Abatement notice

    I'm in a very built up area. It looks like my efforts have paid off. But I'm worried about when it comes to Spring. Don't make geese get very loud around then?

    How long can a goose walk in snow?

    It started snowing today and my goose was walking around in it all day. There's a covered area and it's goose house it could have gone but didn't go there once. Is this okay or can his feet get too cold?

    Abatement notice

    I change it every day to mix it up. I wouldn't say it is 100% effective. If my goose sees someone new there is still going to be a lot of honking but there isn't much sporadic honking now. I'm still worried someone might complain though. :(

    Abatement notice

    I'm in Manchester and was facing a similar situation but solved it with an anti dog barking device. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LVJ6MGL/ I only have one goose though so I'm not sure how effective it will be with multiple.

    I have famous geese!

    Oh wow, pretty much the same thing for me when I take my Goose for a walk in Manchester :D A 10 minute walk turns into 1 hour with so many people coming over. Also my goose is white and some people have threatened to call the police on me for keeping a swan as a pet :lau

    UK Gosling Grower’s Feed and gosling weight

    This is now working! So sleeping isn't an issue anymore. But any other time the gosling can't see me or I stand too far away it will cry non stop. I've tried a mirror so far but it doesn't seem to have helped. :(

    REPOST: Please help - Goose egg hatching

    All the others stopped moving without externally pipping 48 hours later. I cracked 2 open and both had their heads in the wrong position :( I now have the problem that the gosling has imprinted on me and won't stop crying every time it can't see me or I'm too far away. At night it will sleep if...

    UK Gosling Grower’s Feed and gosling weight

    @Reebz I'm living in Manchester and have a 4 day old Embden x Pilgrim cross which looks just like the little gosling in your picture. I tried incubating 4 eggs but only 1 hatched. My little gosling cries constantly as soon as it can't see me. Did you find it the same and do you have any tips...
