Baby goslings hate staying in the brooder! Help!

I wonder if a mirror would help. I know there are 2 of them and we usually suggest this if there is only one but my 2 goslings would lay in front of their mirror and look at themselves. I guess they like the idea of more goslings with them. Just make sure they can't knock it over if you decide to try one.
 
With geese you actually want them to form a strong bond with you. They aren’t like cranes or emus who will forget that they are birds and then refuse to breed with their own.

Geese associate who spends the most time with them as their family. Strangers are scary to them and they’ll usually avoid them, but if they know you but see you only as the person who just shows up to bring them food they can sometimes become aggressive towards you, seeing you as a rival invading their territory, trying to steal their partner.
It’s better to be one of their flock family. You might end up with some of them trying to court you in breeding season, but it’s better than getting attacked.

So definitely enjoy the snuggly goslings!
Thank you, Goosebaby, that's really helpful advice.
