Ok you got what you wanted, They don't usually imprint on People(plural) It is imprinted on YOU. Lets not see any whining this fall about him being 'mean' to everybody else and he wants to mate with you. You made your choice, live with it.

I had a pet mouse and I couldn't come up with a name for her, but I always just call her darling. So then I ended up naming her that

"My first big surprise with Matilda was finding out that imprinting doesn't just mean, "they think the first thing they see is their Mom". Matilda loved me best, yes, but why was she happy in other people's company? Ah...they imprint on the entire species, also. I thought Matilda would be a cute and decorative house pet, but pretty much accepted the "bird brain" theory. When you live with a duck, it takes maybe 2 weeks to discover how much hogwash that is; ducks are very smart! And let me tell you, being outsmarted by a little duck is very humbling.''

Thats from this website http://www.thegoosesmother.com/id75.html

They imprint on the whole species ( humans) not just me.
And don't worry you won't hear any complaining from me. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Understand that an imprinted gander may become an attacker next spring during the breeding season. I had one-Gus the Goose was a neat pet for a kid one entire spring and summer. The next spring he became an attack goose. I purchased six goslings which he "fathered." We kept one of the geese as a mate for him. After some very firm restructuring he accepted that people were dominant to him and therefore should be left alone. Some never get the message, and an attacking goose can be dangerous. 60 years later I still have some of the scars. All that being said, it was a neat experience and there are many "Gus the Goose" stories.
