So here's the story, I really really wanted a couple geese and my wife really really didn't want me to get geese. Everybody told her how mean geese are and that all they do is bite and pinch. She then saw pictures of sabastopol geese and the convincing began! I got my pair of sebbies as day-olds about 3 - 4 months ago. We raised them in our home until they were old enough to join the flock of ducks outside. I continue to talk to them daily and they come up to me and stick their necks out and "talk" back. This week they have started obsessing with my hands like little puppies. I have a nice raspberry on my left hand and many chew marks. I really didn't know how to react, I made sure I didn't run away but I didn't discipline them either. Is this just a phase? I know geese test everything with their bills, but they have been testing my hands really hard! I love my geese and love my wife and I don't want them to become biters like my wife was fearing.... please help!
