Oh, ok. You don´t need to trim anything, except, perhaps the flight feathers if they´re inclined to take off. Don´t trim their bills. It´s like filing down your teeth....whatever for?!
the geese will like lots of good, short grass to eat and water to splash about in.

Well, just ask, and if no-one answers, ask again. we all like geese, and are keen to help out for their benefit.
