The geese are alway calm and gentle around me. The gander is actually very affectionate and gets rather put out if I don't talk to him or pet him when I am in the barn. He will fly up on top of his shelter and honk at me until I pay him some attention ( this is the only time he ever flies up)
Yesterday was such a beautiful sunny day that I let the geese out of the barn to roam free along the paths and the snow. I spent some time kneeling down and petting the gander. He began nibbling on my sleeve and then quickly jumped onto my bent leg... rather like he does when wooing the goose! (nudge nudge wink wink). I pushed him off and was a little shocked!
I guess the moral of the story is that you never know who you will fall in love with. Either that or I look like a large waterfowl.

Well, I'm jealous! My gander (Bitor) has become a big fat jerk since the ladies started laying. :) To think, his name used to be "Sweet Boy". lol.
Well isn't that just ducky! Okay, I know, it was a really fowl joke.
