Goose Safe Plants

Hello everyone, I have an African goose and I am redoing her run. I want to place shrubs along the edges to add some beauty. Right now it has grown to be an eyesore

http://www.poultryhelp.com/toxic1.html this is for poultry but probably about the same for waterfowl, not sure though.

I was wondering if geese stay away from toxic plants. I have two Live Oaks in the back and jasmine. I was really getting worried about it. My goose is young and doesn’t roam around the backyard yet but that time will come soon enough. Is there any safe vine I can plant around her pen? I’m in south Texas and not a lot will grow in this heat but okra and cucumbers do nicely. I can’t find anything on rather or not they are toxic to geese. Any advice you have will be greatly appreciated!

Geese go bonkers for cucumbers! Just from a little googling, it does appear okra is safe for geese too. Geese have been grazing on this earth for thousands of years, they know what's poisonous and what's not.
