Goose Guardians


My dear friend now has a pair of Buff Geese to guard her rare ducks.

They do a great job protecting the duck flock, PLUS they position themselves as sentrys in yard locations that afford them a wider view of the area.

Smart geese.

 
 
Handome geese. Male is on the left. He is a blue Buff.
 
Did you know that geese mate for life?

 
 
And when they run AT you, most people and animals, get out of the way!!!



I think there will be some goslings in the spring.

Can't wait to see what those look like!!

  2. I love your geese!! My grandma had guardian geese as well, better than any guard dog.
