I should clarify, I only meant try banding then while you carry, so that you could carry them one handed easier. I don’t band mine I just hold their mouths shut if they’re trying to chomp me when I’m holding them. I’ve had some fat lips from a naughty goose more than once 😯
Roll your sleeves up, this is not going to solve itself overnight. Sometimes when I have one that thinks they’re tough stuff and won’t let me be I’ll just pick ‘em up and hold ‘em while I walk around. Geese do not like being close to you or carried by you in a way this is you dominating them...
NEVER RUN FROM A GOOSE. Once you let the goose know you’re scared it feeds its ego and they know they own you. Stand up for yourself. Avoid giving your back to the goose until it is no longer dominant over you
