do geese offer any protection at all?
The answer is yes. Their size might put off smaller predators from attacking at all, though this is of course not a guarantee. They will alert if they spot danger, giving other birds a chance to run for cover and you to hear the alert and intervene.
That said, more geese do this job better than one anyway! More geese means more large birds to deter small predators, more eyes watching for danger to alert, and more noise when danger is spotted. So more geese are better for protection than one goose. There's no point in getting a single goose because 'a single goose will be a better protector'. Because that's just not true! Every way a goose provides defense from predators is done better with more geese.
Good point from the article.... thanks again for sharing
