Opinions on the temperaments of different goose breeds. Please.

[CHICKENX2005]

Hi, I'm interested in hearing your options on the temperaments of different goose breeds based on your experiences. I just want to make sure that if I do get more geese some day I don't make the mistake of unknowingly get geese that are often more aggressive or loud than others. I know that each goose is different but I also know that there are some similarities of temperament that are more common in some breeds.

Anyway..Thank you!

I've had African. They are loud and boisterous year round. My buff American and pilgrim are fairly docile outside of the breeding season. During the breeding season they all can be loud. Thankfully that only runs a few months. Generally March to the end of June here. My pilgrim have been a bit more aggressive to other poultry species. I would highly recommend the buff American for a beginning goose. I'm trying embden this year. Hopefully they are also good.
