LOL! His goose is not setting or have babies, but he is particularly protective. In the past he has reached for my boots or stuck his neck out at me, and I don't know how I didn't see it coming, but he got me when I wasn't expecting it! I guess I didn't have enough coffee that morning to keep up with him.The gander mean business when they say stay away from my goose with eggs or goose with goslings! And they show it too by giving you a nice bite on the thigh!
