I don’t know why geese get such a bad rap. I have gotten good about dealing with hormonal spring angst and anticipating and avoiding bites but even still.
The score so far:
My 6 ganders: 5 attempted bites, only one landed a bite.
My two drakes: I lost count. Just this last week alone I was probably bitten 70 times. I’m covered in little pinchy bruises.
Ducks are the chihuahuas of the waterfowl world.
Nah the girls are usually non-confrontational unless a nest is involved. Delphi and Dandelion don’t like it if I get near their nests while they’re on them so I just don’t bother. Friday and Tuesday aren’t bothered at all even if I reach under them and pull an egg out, Apricot is unpredictable when it comes to the nest, it depends on her mood if I’m allowed near or not.Muscovies must be different than other breeds of duck. Mine are like geese without the hormonal rage.
I don’t have Muscovies myself but from observing other people’s birds they’re much different than domestic mallard type breeds behaviorally.
Do your geese ever go after you as well as your ganders?
