I totally agree. Once the geese get to know you and that you are no threat to them, they are really nice birds just chatting away softly and mowing/fertilizing the lawn... and they are so watchful and attentive! Mine have already formed a sort of alliance with my Sheps. The gander gives his shrieking warning and my boys run to near where the geese are(it's the only time my gander doesn't give BIG warnings to the dogs to keep FAR away from his ladies), and bark their big deep warnings, then set out on perimeter patrol. If my boys are inside, they demand to be let out to do patrol and check out the situation. I'm really fascinated by it.
Also... My lawn has never looked so green and nice with so little effort. The holes they dig recover with grass pretty darn fast(lots of leavings around those holes), and simply watering in the leavings from their mobile pen every day or two has my back lawn LUSH.
I spend most of my time outside when I'm gardening talking to them... My husband believes I've lost some of my marbles I think. But then he watches them come hover around me and chatter back, and he just shakes his head and walks off.
