to be afraid of my gander😱

Anyone own a gander? We have six geese that we got at the age of around 12 months about a year ago. Unknowingly one turned out to be a gander. So they are now about two, and being spring, here in Oz it’s their first breeding season. Well, the girls are nesting and he’s very aggressive. Does it stop after breeding season? Any remedies that don’t involve roast potato’s and stuffing?

Howling at the ASBO gander and the psycho goat Grin

OP geese are delicious roasted with a whole apple and pear inside of them. They are naturally fatty and the taste of the fruit cooked in the cavity is gorgeous. Just sayin' Wink

Can you kick them? Will they fuck off then?

I don't think you'll be afraid of him plucked, stuffed and roasted

@MythicalBiologicalFennel.. if you want more of a laugh at our psycho goat, his name was Angel... angelic my arse. Never get a goat with an overly sweet name.

I'm going to start calling my vagina my gander šŸ˜Ž

if you want more of a laugh at our psycho goat, his name was Angel My childhood neighbours had an absolute nightmare of a tom cat that would stalk, attack and chase you, if he hadn't drawn blood he'd keep going until he did. Might well have been part-goose. Human, dog, other cat - he'd have at anything. His name was ..... Lucy.

My mum had a scar on her heel where a gander got hold of her when she was a kid. She claimed she was wearing wellingtons at the time, but I find that hard to believe.

She was utterly fearless when it came to animals, was never scared of any dog or horse, no matter how ill-tempered it was, would walk through a field with a bull in it, wasn't even scared of swans, but she would never go near geese until she was positive none of them were ganders.

Mmmm goose liver pate...

Perhaps girls we need a #arseholegander campaign. Not keen actually,but even the psycho girls are a handful. My enormous seagoing husband ( not here of course) thought the bum spanking funny. Shall I send them to our local for abniglads chat?
