In general Sebastopols aren't suppose to be as loud or aggressive as say Africans or Chinese although there can be exceptions to the rule in any breed. All ganders tend to be aggressive during the breeding season from mock charging and hissing to outright attacking and biting. Don't turn your back on them during the breeding season
ort allow little children around them unsupervised..
One of my ganders likes to bite me when I'm not looking.
He considers my butt a big target. (well I guess it is)
Another one of my ganders only hisses at me and never attempts to bite me.
Sebastopol gosling's raised by humans from birth are utterly adorable, bright and puppy-like
but with age become more independent as they should. They're just being geese.
Goslings raised by their parents can be highly timid and the parents are extremely protective.
I love my Sebastopols and they bring me much joy.
I only wish I had gotten some sooner.
Geese are far more personable & intelligent than ducks or chickens
but they do require the right set up (room, boundries and grass) or they can be a pain.

Good luck!
