To think my gander should not come into my house.

[Tinkerbell456]

We have a half dozen geese, one of them a gander. The other afternoon I heard honking close by and investigated to find our gander in our entryway honking for dinner for him and his harem. Obviously, he was sent as spokesgoose.

Spokesgoose

He probably just wanted to have a gander

I read this as gardener at first and wondered what the bloody hell the geese had to do with it

Well the rhyme does suggest that they wander, doesn’t it?

You’ll find him in your lady’s chamber soon

YABU, the gander is in charge and you are merely his servant.

He's training you

You need to watch this situation. I predict that, in a few weeks, gander and harem will be living in the house and it will be you creeping round the garden scavenging for food.

Had you been offering sauce to the geese?

I thought that gander was a mistype for gardener!

I also thought you meant gardener lol

I misread it as gender and thought it was an FWR thread 🤭

My grandmother would slap two flyswatters together to train her geese. They are really quite smart and knew the different rhythms of the flyswatters meant different things. Your gander is trying to train you so my suggestion is to loudly clap at him and show who's boss.

Why no photographs?

I had a lovely gander once, but he lost interest in his wives and fell in love with me. This was amusing to start with, less so when he started trying to creep up on me and hump my leg every time I was sat down, and defended me from everything, including my children, the horses, my husband, chickens, the postman - anything that came onto the property! Eventually we rehomed him with lots more geese at a petting farm, where they are delighted at how friendly he is, and apparently he and his original wife have produced their first gosling after he began to take notice of her again.

Wanted a propaganda

This is my old chap.

Btw, my FIL let mine into my house once, and I found them all sitting on the sofa watching TV. We had to keep the doors closed after that!

Oh he's a beaut.

😂

How did they get the TV on?

What’s good for the goose.....

I’ll get my coat 😂

You both need to discuss this over a pot of tea. Maybe you could come to a compromise?

I'm jealous, if my gander found his way into my personal space he's likely to go straight for my throat or my crotch, possibly trying to kneecap me at the same time.

Yes, I think you and spokesgoose need to hold a summit to come to terms about feeding times and access to the house.

He sounds like a tough negotiator.

My mum used to feed some Canada geese, they took to tapping the back door with their beaks for food. Brilliant things animals.

Now I want geese!! How lovely.
