how do you stop geese from chewing on everything

The little girl next door came over and took her flip flops off. She went to go home and one shoe was not to be found.. Hmmmm, who could have taken the shoe half way across the yard??

Good Luck! lol I raised Toulouse and 2 white chinese and one african.With about 15 + along with duck's and TOOOO many chicken's...I live in Virginia lot's of tree's plant's flower's etc.After a summer of geese it looked like a barren roadside on Rt.66 .Geese are great if you have a pond or area away from your house for them.Unless you like the "dustbowl" effect.Our's ate off a chunk of DH's new lawn sweeper bag he paid over $300 for. LOL.Only thing they wouldnt eat were Onion's!Buggar's even ate my tree frog I think We loved next to pond

.I don't have geese now.I did like them though they just HAD to be rehomed due to moving but doubt I will ever get anymore. MAYBE lol.

I set boundaries for my geese with permanent fencing and 2 ft. high vinyl coated garden/rabbit guard fencing which is easy to erect (I use regular electric fence post rods) and step over but keeps my geese where I want them.
If you have flying breeds you will need to clip their wings annually.
Trees need a wrap with chicken wire around their base or those can be girdled.
Anything you don't want shredded you have to keep out of reach.
You know how one has to baby proof their home? Same with geese..
If you don't want them nibbling on stuff you have no other option but to fence it off or keep things out of their reach.
They are like little goats that nibble constantly.
Good luck!

when my goose starts to bite down on peoples fingers i give her, her stuffed monster. it has rattels and is made for babies and she loves it.

half a watermelon would probably distract them for a while. i like the idea of using the our apple spray for geese
