The thing is a lot of people have had scary encounters with geese maybe as children or even adults. And they have a healthy fear of geese in general. My gander [Embden] is a force to reckon with during breeding season, But a wimp the rest of the year. But just having them in the yard with the ducks and chickens would make many not want to enter because many are afraid of them. Ever been bit or flogged and you understand why. lol
