Can You Have Geese as Pets?

broken image

Of course. Many people have different birds for pets including ducks and geese. The important thing to remember is to find the right breed of geese to raise on your farm. Having geese from hatchlings is also helpful in taming the geese. Geese have a reputation for being loud and even mean, but if you start with them at a young age you can train them to eat out of your hand and squawk only when they want food or if they sense danger. Granted, not everyone is successful with this training so be prepared to exercise patience and even ask for help if needed. If you’re going to adopt a goose or purchase an older goose, make sure you ask about temperament so you can avoid the aggressive ones. Also check that geese are allowed in your farm area as some communities have banned them because of the noise. Your Westminster, MD vet can help you find out.
