Gander crabby AGAIN???

[Goosehill]

lol I do that too when they’re extra naughty, I call them “tail squidges” and warn them that if they keep it up “I’ll squidge your tail again!”

My hand raised gander can be particularly wilful and although he isn't aggressive towards me and is generally good company, sometimes he needs reminding that I'm the boss and he's the goose. Picking him up and stroking his neck settles him, followed by a gentle pull on his tail after putting him down. He's indignant about the interference with his gooseness and bustles his feathers but behaviour improves for several days.

I am a touch nervous my eyes would get taken out if I held him. I have picked him up before, he does NOT like it. He is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish he would let me hold and pet him.
