Is it safe to feed gosling cut grass?

We feed ours cuttings from the lawn all the time. Geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens, everyone likes them. We use the regular mower and I also have a reel mower for in between the lawn mowing. Never had a problem feeding them, and I've raised multiple batches of goslings feeding large amounts of clippings.
 
I also routinely start young goslings (1+ week old) on finely-chopped, chemical-free grass clippings with chick grit as a supplement to their formulated feed and have not experienced any adverse effects from doing so. As they get older, they have access to pasture.
 
Geese primarily eat grass. As long as the pieces aren't too long, I would give them grass in any form. They'll eat it right up. I start giving my goslings ripped up grass (about as long as a finger digit) and sand starting day 2 or 3. I have raised about 60 geese this way, no issues. Ducks also love to eat grass.
