I do think they tend to preen people they like. Mine certainly did.
It never hurt but -- they were aware that jewelry and such didn't belong and might apply a bit more force to remove those foreign objects.
Sounds like he must have been a pampered pet. It could be a bit stressful for him being rehomed too (I'm guessing here) and that might provoke more separation anxiety than is normal.
I never kept a house goose. I raised my first babies in the house until they were big. At first in huge plastic totes, and they would want to be able to see me and be taken out and held sometimes. Later when they were VERY full sized I kept them in the lower tiled room in a huge wire dog kennel. They spent their days outside and marched into the kennel at night. That year's geese could be seen most of the day on the back porch, tapping the glass door and wanting to be let in or for me to come out.
Even after they bred and raised babies, they still stayed just as tame and affectionate (except one Chinese gander who was rather hands-off).
