jack & mommy's duckies :
I kinda want to take a girl or two to my sons kindergarden class. I took a few ducks and that was great, I think they would be sooo excited to see a full grown goose
The kids would surely be excited, but the geese might behave very differently when they're out of their known and safe environment. I'm absolutely not saying this to discourage you from taking the geese to the kindergarden class, but you may want to take precautions. Like, maintaining a good distance between the geese and the kids, and instructing the kids not to scream at the geese and to sit quietly and watch. Or, of course, put the birds in a cage so they don't run around all over the classroom.
My goose, Keld, is usually very friendly and quiet, and he never attacks anyone. At home, that is, where he feels safe. But some weeks ago I took him to the library (I just made a quick stop to return some books on the way home from visiting a friend), and all of a sudden he was surrounded by twenty or so very interested and very loud kids he did not know, so he got all scared and confused and tried to attack one of the librarians. I guess he singled her out as the least threatening target. I had to scoop him up and flee out the back door. And if he had not worn a diaper there would have been poop everywhere. He was so scared, just from the excited yelling and running around of the kids, noone even touched him.
BTW, the librarian was really nice about it and said she felt kind of honored to have been attacked by Keld. One of the other librarians is also named Keld, so she put on her Facebook status that "I was attacked by Keld today, he tried to bite my leg". Hahaha!
