Pilgrim Geese

IF you spend time with them you will be accepted into their flock. They will be your best friends and probably give their life to save you from strangers. They will be so happy to see you every time you come out. They will run to you , shouting for joy!
and IF you learn how to show them who is the Alpha , then Ganders will respect you, even during breeding season.
Does this Pilgrim goose seem unfriendly or mean to YOU?

My pilgrim geese were really sweet and adorable at first, but once breeding season came along I had to get rid of them. Nearly killed some of my chickens.

Now that they have been sold to a place with no chickens and lots of space, I've heard they're really sweet and get along with everyone perfectly. So, if you don't have lots of space, don't get these birds! Probably won't try them out again, I prefer smaller poultry.

The male that i raised from a gosling bites hard. He hisses and chases me. The female keeps her distance. They are quiet for geese. My african female is very nice.

These are the sweetest geese I have had or met. Both the male and female are responding very well to verbal training. I am working with them on the words no, quiet, bedtime, and a few others. They took a bit to get idea of commands but once they understood, progress has been fast. They are healthy, alert and smart. I would put them at about the middle for goose breeds when it comes to noisy honking, but they are quite trainable so if you work with them getting them to be quieter over all is fairly easy. They do well with strangers if encouraged to behave and be calm and quiet. They are not mean and work well with my ducks but as with all goose breeds they need some watching and correcting as necessary for ideal behavior. They are a medium-ish size perhaps just a touch on the small side which can be nice in a mixed flock. So far I would say they are smarter and sweeter then the Embdens I have had and less noisy then the Toulouse I have had. The color sexing is so nice. No wondering if goslings or adults you have are the right gender mix. I would definitely recommend them.

I've had Pilgrims for two summers now and I just love them to death. Both genders are quiet and mellow, I've never once had them show any aggressive besides hissing when the females are nesting. They are great layers in the spring and the females will hatch their own young, fertility I've found to be excellent. During the summer they forage for all their food and are easy to winter in cold Canadian climates.
