Hey, all! My gander is about a year old (we estimated his birthday to be yesterday actually! He was around three weeks old when we got him last year), and he's definitely in mating season mode right now for the last month or so. He keeps mounting our other goose (and honking proudly afterward). But he's also just been more aggressive here and there. It's not constant, but he just gets in moods sometimes (at least toward us; with visitors, he always is distrustful now). I'm not sure if it's because of mating season or if he's just becoming more aggressive as he gets older.
But it seems like one thing that really sets him off is anything with bright colors. Like a blue plastic bag, a yellow broom, a pink wrist weight, and he'll attack them and anyone holding them, lol. Recently, I had a yellow purse, and they were both really terrified of it, which was very surprising. But that's what made me realize he might be attacking because of other colorful things. Does anyone else have experience with this? He didn't always used to do this with colors either. Thanks!
