Any concerns about wild Canada Geese interacting with domestic ducks

[DuckyDonna]

I know zero about geese but I've got a few ponds near our land and we see geese flying/honking over our property every night all year. I'm sure they are Canada geese but they never leave. What's up with that?

Then sometimes, but not often, we have another kind of geese flying over that make a loud trilling sound. Hard to explain the sound but they fly really high and make a very distinct sound. Does anyone know what they are? They seem to be whiter than the Canada geese and they are definitely different looking.

Maybe snow geese? I am not sure if over your place is a fly way though but they are white.
Around here most Canada geese migrate over to the eastern part of NC.

Don't think its Snow geese.

Out of your geese, Embden and Toulouse, which breed do you find to generally be most friendly? I love both of these and just noticed that you have both!

I know that personality is more individual but I'm curious about the general thoughts are on each breed. Also, did you get your geese from an individual here in NC or order from a hatchery? Thank you @Miss Lydia

I don’t think there would be a problem. There is a slight chance you might get strange goslings, though.

I wonder what the heck they are. They definitely migrate because we only see/hear them a couple of times a year. They are big and whiter than Canada geese. The Canada geese we have never leave our area.

"Geese taking their responsibility very seriously" is an understatement
I think it's a great thing they like to hang out and now Reggie has some friends!!

My guess was going to be snow geese also. Egyptian Geese maybe?

No, I listened to the sounds from them and its not even close. Its a trilling sound. They fly high in a flock and they make that loud trilling sound like if you vibrate your tongue. Hard to explain.

I know it’s Muscovy they trill.

I know right! I thought of that too but I'm pretty sure it's not them!
