Book of Geese by Dave Holderread

does any one know if
The Book of Geese by Dave Holderread talks about guard geese

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Geese only guard themselves, their own nests etc.
Geese need to be with other geese.
Do you own this book or are you looking to buying it?

I don’t have the book but BirdsBeesTrees is right, geese don’t make good guards, they do just guard themselves and their nests.

The ones that saved Rome from the Gauls were probably nesting females that started cackling when they heard something is my guess, otherwise geese actually tend to become very quiet if they’re scared. They’ll only make a racket if they think they hear someone they know coming.

As for flock guardians geese are more fragile than they advertise, they can’t protect themselves let alone others, their main defense is to fly away or bluff if they can’t fly away.
They will scare away hawks just because of their size but not eagles or most land predators.

I have that book and I don't see a thing about guard geese. I know mine have never been guard geese to my chickens and ducks.

This is a good one. It's a little redundant if you already have her book on ducks, but I think it supports the Waterfowl Rescue, so that's good. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Pet...=1651875439&sprefix=geese,book,aps,102&sr=8-4
