7. Hahahah! I had a couple of geese. They terrorized my husband's butt.
They didn't like him for some reason. He'd come into the house out of breath, drop his pants and show me huge angry red marks on his hind cheeks. Next day they were seriously black and blue.

They are excellent guard animals and will alert and attack... they are pretty intimidating as they are LOUD, FAST, MEAN and LARGE (but not really dangerous like dogs). When a coupla big mean, angry, agressive, screaming birds come at you at high speeds with 5 foot wingspans, it scares people! If one must have guard animals, they can be a good, safe option.

And yes, they're incredibly, amazingly messy.

My two got along sweetly with our daughterkid and I... they just hated my husband's ass, and let him know it.
