If you just sit and watch geese, you´ll find that they don´t cuddle, (except for when they´re tiny and need heat), and if they do touch, it´s just a little poke. Most of the time a goose will move away from another goose that wants to 'touch' it, because it´s going to get poked. just watch....but they don´t mind poking you!Out of all my geese, there´s just one female that will actually come for a stroke. A lot of the others will come around and let me just touch their chest, then move off. Or...gather around behind me and pick and poke....![]()

Mine are funny that way as well. Sting and Lydia will walk along with me and chatter up a storm while Pauline walks behind me and grabs at my pants cuffs the same way that a couple of my dogs do. They will come up when I sit in their pen with them and rub their cheeks against my pant leg but they will not let me pet them. They will let me hold them by the back of the neck and pick them up and hold them in my lap for just a few seconds but then off they go...I guess complaining about getting too much affection.So true mine will come up to chew on me but petting them they aren't fond of. I can still touch my 2 goslings but they aren't that crazy about it anymore either. I noticed Sammy will poke very gently at the 2 goslings it's so sweet almost like a love tap. No love taps for me though![]()
