Reply to comment by Yowz3rs87 in [OC] Goose Kisses are the best kisses by CopperBoulevard

I feel you... some are just protecting there nest or have had bad interactions with humans, but not all are bad. It takes a lot to earn a goose's trust, plus temperament has a lot to do with it. Some animals or people just have a more aggressive temperament than others. I feel blessed thou to have such a wonderful animal and cherish every day I have with him. Thanks for the comment and I hope next time you come across one the interaction is better.

Does he make that soft chortling sound when he kisses you? Mine did , almost like a whisper… and a trill combined. Nothing like goosey love.

Yes, I would say he is the most loving pet I've ever had. I'm glad you got to experience it as well. Here is a video I posted https://www.reddit.com/r/geese/comments/zq2qzk/riggs_was_in_a_cuddle_mood_today/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

They mate for life ya know…and they never let a gosling be an orphan, so you know… you might be a dad …for a looong time. Mine lived maybe 15 years? He would love on all the women who came to our farm and he would wait for a guy to pass and then run after him and bite him ( or try to ) on the calf, twisting as he clamped down to leave a red welt raised up half an inch with red dots as the capillaries were damaged. How did he know a woman from a man …everybody dresses in pants basically. I don’t know…but he did

Yeah I would say I'm his mate even thou he got raised the same way with his girlfriend Lorna and I raised several ducks the same way in the past, but he/Riggs has been the best I don't know either how he is able to tell the difference. Especially when me or someone else is all bundled up for winter wearing a face mask. Bonus baby picture https://imgur.com/Uiv0eRO
