I was wondering what methodology one would use for raising a few geese to live on a lake, but not swim/fly away and never be seen again. I have this non public lake by my house (although it connects to a larger, public lake with this canal that has a bridge of a regional park trail going over it), with this little campfire area, canoe storage and fishing dock thing going on, and I was wondering if there's some way I could get some toulouse goslings, have them imprint, take them to the lake as youngsters so they get used to it, and teach them that the dock is where they get fed so they stick around? I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud. I'm guessing they'd sleep out on the water, as basically no predators can get to them, and we have all sorts of waterfowl that live out there too, loons, geese, dabbling ducks, diving ducks, gulls, etc.
