I love how she runs with her wings out, you can almost hear her shouting "Here I come!" 😁❤️
@@goodnightmunchie Well not literally no 😁
Balance. It's natural instinct when she runs and feels air rushing past her she will get lift under her wings and it will help her balance.
@@zerofox7347 Thanks for your insight, that's really sweet actually, good use of those wings 😊👍
Dad : No goose in the swimming pool…..
A few minutes later : the goose enjoys bath in the swimming pool 😂😂😂😂
Goose wears the pants 👖 in the family and goose Mama is the belt that keeps them on!
Sexist family system, I see.
As a person that has had a big white duck as a pet as a child, i totally get this. Those kinds of birds can really become part of the family.
@@goodnightmunchie well, technically, I’m black, at least according to this society.( Tawny Moor actually.) I loved that duck like a sibling, and when it died, I think I cried for like 2 days.
@@OscillatorCollective goodnight is some kind of bot profile. Whenever you see the cigarette emoji and racist comment that's how you know, don't waste your time replying to them.
Peking Ducks? the Asian's eat them! HEARTLESS!!!
@@loumason6120 I figured as much, but I wanted to clarify.
@@OscillatorCollective i love those white little Daffy ducks lol.. a friend use to live on a lake and these 2 Peking ducks became friendly with me, i would quack at them from a 200 yards away and they would paddle over to me for a snack, it was very cute, i always would be looking out for them
OMG! You're amazing! A disco ball???? I wanna be a guard goose!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok…Harriett is just too damn cute…lol. I love all the special things you’ve done for her and you can tell she truly appreciates it…🥰
I don't think a GUARD goose can be as physically imposing as a vicious dog. But their persistent chasing and loud honking scares off plenty of strangers!
Their bite is quite painful and they make a lot of noise.
@@louisevanderlinde8590 that is true. I experienced that from a duck 🦆 which my sister had as a pet. The beak of that duck had razor sharp teeth. I'm not even kidding. Ducks bite hard. People say that geese bite hard too. I've had encounters with geese but they have not been painful. They hiss when you try to touch them at least the ones in the park near my apartment which happens to have an artificial, or man-made lake. I don't even try to feed the geese in the park 🏞️ I go to that is near my apartment. They're too aggressive for me. No thanks. I prefer woodpeckers.
“Guard Geese” is a myth, a dog is more effective at protecting a flock. Geese can appear intimidating and while their bite and wing beats can be painful, they are nothing compared to an attacking dog, and unfortunatly for poor geese that were purchased by misinformed owners to defend chickens it isn’t long before predators learn that a goose is easy prey.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen someone come onto byc saying that they got a “guard goose” because someone on TH-cam or at a feed store told them it was a good idea only to come back on a few months later saying their poor goose was carried off by a fox or coyote or horribly ripped apart by a raccoon.
There is no such thing as a “guard goose.”
As someone who’s been attacked by a goose I can confirm they hurt 😂
Guard Geese, Swans or Peacocks weren't used to directly defend. Their sole purpose was to vocally alert the Dogs and people to the presence of invaders so that defensive action could be taken. They were simply a biological early warning/alarm system used by many estates and farms to keep "unwanted guests" from being able to sneak up and get the upper hand...
That's amazing....what better and loyal friend to be having?
The goose is loose and she’s beautiful.
What a great companion Harriet is, she is beautiful and smart…love her name too. 💕
The Dodo presents The Honking Guard.
Cue music.
"And I
Will always love you, ooh, I
Will always love you, you!"
Ok.. that is one spoiled little lady!! What a beautiful friendship
I fell immediately in love with Harriet! You are the perfect MOM for her, as we see she TOTALLY loves you! Poor hubby didn't want her in the pool (so funny)! Congrats on ALL YOU DO, thanks for this video that just happened to pop up on my feed :) !
Husband... No goose in the pool.... She did it by herself !!!🤣
Love her!
When I was a.kid I bought a Peking duck at a flea market and he grew up with three dogs. We had a small pond in the backyard and he loved pacing back and forth in it. When the dogs barked at birds he did too. His name was Pete.
I really didn't realize how smart those birds are.
For any Young folks reading this...
In Mexico there are literally thousands of geese, ducks and chickens
homeless on the streets, OR being neglected, OR being straight out ABUSED.
I know it's really really bad around the area of rosarito and ensenada.
I know this because I lived just outside of rosarito for 5 years.
It's depressing to the max the amount of animals (cats and dogs too) on the streets and / or neglected and abused.
I did what I could every single day for the street animals and even straight up rescued and gave a home to seven cats and two dogs.
However, it was so overwhelming I actually had to leave Mexico. Mexico is like hell on Earth for animals.
Don't let people try to tell you any Rosie scenario about it. I'm telling you the harsh truth of things.
I'm leaving out all the horrible details about the daily life of the average animal in Mexico.
Such as dogs living 24/7 on a roof in the hot sun and getting leftover beans thrown up to them once or twice a week.
So many dogs in Mexico are treated like free burglar alarms.
Legally sanctioned animal abuse all over Mexico.
Anyway, I didn't mean to go on a rant. But I never see anyone helping the poor ducks and geese and chickens.
Maybe some of you young folks could look into it and rescue some of those geese or something.
Cuz nobody seems to pay any attention to the poor birds.
I also used to feed wild Street chickens and two ducks every day.
I often wonder what's happened to them poor birds
AWWWW that's terrible wtf is wrong with those people!!!!!! Thanks for the comment, i'm going to look into it. God bless you
Those towns are just below San Diego on the beach gezzzzz ...i can only wonder what's going on in smaller towns all over the country!
@@loumason6120 thanks man. I would have and would now do my best to be helpful and rescue a bunch of those animals.
I'm not in the greatest of health and I'm a retired veteran on a budget.
So I did all I could at the time and all I can handle is the animals I have with me.
I'm just hoping some young folks could get together and go down there and rescue a bunch of them.
By the way, I noticed most people hate hearing this truth.
They don't want it being put out there that the majority of Mexican people are horrible toward animals or just don't care about animals. But sadly, it's the truth.
It's totally ingrained in the culture to treat animals like objects.
@@michaelquaid4679 That's what iv'e heard, they come to the USA and take unwanted horses and eat them in mexico. UNREAL! ..The only problem is i live on the east coast but i'm interested in moving out west.
Lou,are you vegan ?
What beautiful festhers!! She's a beauty ❤️ 💙
Yes, she's so floofy!!!!
She's a Sebastopol goose.
I lost my 23 yr. old white chinese gander in Nov. of 2021. I raised him from a gosling and he was truly, the pet love of a lifetime. Had someone told me 23 years ago that a goose would be one of my all time favorite pets, I never would have believed it! Yes, they are incredibly intelligent and have great memories. My guy knew and understood about 20 words and different commands. " Wait, stay, hurry, up/down/in/out etc. ) For anyone considering a pet goose, if raised from goslings they will imprint on you and you will always be their mother/father goose to the exclusion of all others. If you donit have lots of time to devote to them ( just like a dog ) they do best with other companion geese as they are extremely social. Male/female or female/female combos are best as ganders usually do not get along well. This and the fact that they have long lifespans, 10-20+ years, ( the record was 40ish I believe ) makes them every bit as much of a commitment as a cat or dog. Being a goose mom is truly, a once in a lifetime experience!
Military bases keep flocks of geese near secure areas. They're GREAT alarm systems!
What's up with the shaggy feathers? I've never seen a goose like that before.
She appears to be a Sebastopol goose, which is a breed with shaggy feathers
@@mlee40738 awesome, thank you! Have a happy new year!
@@TotalBlackoutPainting You, too!
I watch pet goose George. He lives with a dog and cat and a rooster and his hens and there are three ducks and deer come around to be fed. George likes apples and kale and corn. Bet your goose likes those too. And George has a kiddy pool he likes to bathe in. It’s neat to see people with a pet goose.
Wowee, It wasn't until 2/3 of the way through the video that I noticed the GORGEOUS feathers Harriet has. What a beautiful creature and a beautiful soul. Harriet looked just like a swan in the pool, amazing❤.
Harriet is a Smooth-breasted Sebastopol
That is one SPOILED Geese! 😆😆😆😆 She's absolutely beautiful and it's living her best life!
She's so sweet, a lovely companion ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The disco ball is both great and hilarious!!!!
Happy New Years everyone!!
But I wonder: does the chlorine bother her when she gets in the pool versus a natural lake or river.🤔
If balanced properly it shouldn't harm any animals.
A lot of people are doing saltwater pools now. Maybe hers is one.
I ❤️ HARRIET...SO TRUSTING BECAUSE THEY CAN FEEL IT.
The feathers ❤
Geese make the best alarm system you can have, nothing gets passed them.
She's so cute!!! Love the disco ball!!
Love it when animals have people names.
My dad told me that when they were young (he was born in 1910) the last child of a poor widow with 8 older brothers. They were given a live goose for their Christmas dinner but loving animals like me she couldn't have it killed. It was just like this goose as it loved and protected my grandmother like a guard dog and eventually died of old age. When he told me this I understood why he said to me many times 'Oh you are just like you grandmother!' as I would have done the same x
They are all beautiful and gorgeous animals.
*_HJÖNK HJÖNK!_*
*_GUÄRD GOOSE_*
Had a goose like this, you would be surprised how much personality they have
LOOOVE the story! Precious
This video absolutely made my day.
My Dad has neighbors that have THREE guard geese! They honk and raise hell when they see anybody! They are in a fenced backyard, if you dare go on that property they WILL attack you, bite, fly at your head.
I LOVE her!! And those feathers are amazing! I've never seen feathers on a goose like that.
What a beautiful gorgeous animal.
I love geese. They are my favorite bird friends. Every year I meet Canada geese as they return aftwr winter. They remember me and dance for me when they see me. I consider myself to be a spirit goose.
Andreas,do you eat geese or other birds ?
@@jjradV Hi. I have been vegan for ten years so never eat birds or other animals.
@@andreasoberg2021 pleasure to talk with you, keep on educating !!
Wow! She is living the life I WANT! He life is so full and she has a very best friend who loves her deeply. And she has the mission to protect and defend... and yet she is a female (bird) who enjoys the extravagancies in life, just like me. 🐦
Her father's are so wonky!! I love how she runs! Absolutely full of stinking cuteness!! 🪶🦢🥰
Respect...Happy new year!
Aww so cute.
Those geese must think they’re on acid when the disco lights come on! That said, that’s a brilliant idea!
Harriet is so cute friend 😁 Happy New Year's friend 😁
Geese always have a tendency to bond with those that raise them.
Sweet Harriet!! I'm in love. 🥰
Geese are amazing . In fact, in China, the police stations have trained flocks of geese to act as burglar alarms and prevent police dogs from being poisoned . I do not know if anybody has ever confronted a whole flock of angry hissing,honking geese, but it is a truly terror-inspiring sight to behold.
I love this one
A goose with a purpose. She's really cute.
I have never seen a goose with feathers like that! She is adorable
Think it might be a disease
I feel like she and the goose showcased themselves 😂🤣
Harriet is a fine feathered love that has no limits to her intelligence. Our chicken was the same in her sensitivities. Always purposeful and ingenious. They survive because they know love and compassion!!
It's an amazing story ❤❤❤
Your a lucky lady I would love to have a goose just like that one
I don’t doubt their fierceness or intelligence. In the wild they’re not to be messed with. Especially during baby season.
What a beautiful gorgeous goose!🥰
HA the guy who didn't want her in the pool 🤣
Life's funny that way.
Harriet, you go, girl... beautiful like a swan 🦢.
Always nice to make friends with a critter.
So cute!
Antique Romans already knew about guard geese when their noise prevented a Gauls attack in 390 BC.
Yeah goose/ gander are very protective, territorial.
Those who are cruel to animals (and birds) are really missing out on so much good stuff 😄💚
Good Harriet! 💕
It's my dream to have one of those!
😍 Fluffy ~
As a farm child, I wasn't afraid of any of the neighbor's dogs. Geese, though, really hurt when they peck with their tough, hard beaks. Excellent guard animals.
A long time ago a friend and I had two guard geese; Bonnie and Clyde! They were as smart and effective as two guard dogs and very entertaining!
Too funny listening to the husband in the background...”I said no goose in the pool...”
Oh Harriet 😀❤️🪿 What a darling girl!
this is so cute and wholesome
i wish all people could see how precious all those animals really are, especially domesticated species. only species that essentially like or at least tolerate humans can truly become domesticates. other species might feature some tame individuals, but today’s domestic animals entered a bond with humanity ages ago. we truly need to take a step back and cherish these bonds how it should be done and stop the exploitation. (it’s so sad to think about how most people esp. around christmas know and like a goose (or turkey). 😔)
🐣
Geese are wonderful and lovely!
There is nothing better than a flock of geese to ensure the guard, totally silent and the indelicate visitors keep memories (hematomas) for a very long time.
Beautiful
I don't know why, but, somehow Harriet is the perfect name for a goose.
woman amazed at a goose enjoying to swim
I think that is an American Olympian Goose.. what a fluff ball… life gives you snuggles from the most amazing creatures.. mine from Sammy the squirrel rescued after a fierce wind and rain storm.. I cried the day we released him…you have Harriet… it makes sense to me. Long hours of happy snuggles in 2023 and beyond.
2:40 that is some wild strawberries, they are the best.
Pilgrim geese are awesome.
Ele é muito especial 🦆🦆🦆🙏🙏🦆🦆🦆🙏🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Wonderful 💞💓❤️😍 love you so much
Lindos 😻😻
This takes me back to my childhood. Me and my sister had ducks as pets
What a duo
Geese are the best perimeter guard animals you can ever have, when they start squawking, Fluffy stapps to full on pissed off in under 0.01 seconds. The UPS driver can make it through the gate alive, the neighbor kids seem to be alright but my tag team doesn't tolerate many other visitors.... Geese are more like puppies than most people think, they imprint on people and their bond is strong. Its the dog that has the teeth.
And, that was the last time she ever thought of using a down pillow.
Beautiful story but heartbreaking a little knowing they are so sentient....😕
I loved this, she's so special and they make the best guard dogs! You must love the relationship you have with her. 💕💖🦆🦢🐤☺️👍
So dang CUTE 🥰
How Sweet!!!.
We had guard guineas.
Many blessings for you both 🙏🏻 🥰
Besties indeed!!
God bless you all
What an adorable pet! Thanks for sharing.
"Babe i said. no goose. in the swimming pool."
I would've dumped him right then and there
I’ve been raising and breeding geese for years and I can say 100% that the concept of a guard goose is a myth that is continuously perpetuated by people at feed stores who don’t actually have any experience raising geese and further repeated by novices duped into believing it.
Geese are prey animals, they cannot guard or protect other birds neither is it part of their behavior, they can’t even protect themselves from small predators like foxes and raccoons. The most they do is deter small aerial predators like hawks.
Geese will protect their mate, nest, and goslings with their life, but beyond that it’s all bluff, they are smaller and more fragile than they make themselves out to be.
Keeping a lone goose on top of it is also fairly cruel. Geese will develop deep bonds with humans and other kinds of birds even with other geese present, however humans can’t be around them all the time, and other species of birds are more inclined towards their own kind, which leaves the goose in a perpetual state of anxiety not being able to relate properly towards ducks or chickens in it’s flock and feeling scared and abandoned whenever their human is away from home or out of sight.
If you need a flock guardian get a dog. If you want a big bird to scare away the hawks get two geese, not one.
Or at the very least a donkey is a better guard animal than a goose. Geese are alert and can alert a flock but they won't protect them. I wish people would differentiate because it's frustrating. An alert goose may not even be able to protect a flock because a flock of multiple species will react in multiple ways to a warning.
Exactly!
Truly beautiful! Made my day to see the love and bond between these two. Thanks for sharing 😀🙃☺️🤗
HEY! She's family! Harriet can swim in the pool at anytime.
They both have the same beak shape!
