Like livin says...play with them every day and that is a lot easier and a lot more fun than you might think. I go out with mine, let them forage in one of our fields and every now and then run away from them. The fly after me honking and then we walk back to my chair in the field under an old oak tree where I sit and chat with them and they nibble grass (and my shoes) and chatter back at me. It is really good for the mind and good for the soul.You go and play with them a lot every day.
You just have to thnk about the goose´ natural instincts. They´re flock animals, and they love their own family. so, it doesn´t matter if there are walls or if it´s grass. If they see you as their flock member, they´ll be fine. You just need to be with them as much as possible. I have some goslings outside that I can just go and pick up because I´ve spent more time with those, and others that will come to me, but don´t like much more than my finger touching them, because I didn´t have that much time in the beginning to be around them.....those first 2 weeks are so important to spend as amuch time possible with them. Then, as long as you keep up the contact, they should be fine.
