I have one Embden gander. He's started chasing my kids and any visitors that stop by. He even chases their car's down the driveway. He will start hissing and come running towards me as well but he always stops short of reaching me, turns and walks away. I must be at the top of the pecking order.
What can I do?? Seriously, my nieces and nephew are scared to death to come over. Goose nearly had my sister cornered today in the front yard and sometimes my 4 year old is trapped in the car because Goose is just waiting for her outside of the car door. It is a bit comical to see, but it's becoming a real problem.
Could this be because it is Spring mating time? If he had a mate would he be less willing to interact with people? I think he is approaching one year old. Could it be he is maturing and just naturally an aggressive goose? I really really like him, but at this rate I may need to find another farm for him to live at OR someone who would want a goose in the freezer.
EDIT: I forgot to add that he is a single goose in a flock of muscovies. I have been looking for a mate for him but I'm not sure if I would end up with TWO geese bullying my visitors rather than the one. Or maybe having a mate will calm him down?
