Raising geese is easy, and unlike other domestic birds, they are a lot less prone to diseases and parasites. Geese are also hardy. Hence, they thrive in harsh weather conditions, particularly extreme cold and wetness.
Some geese will bond like regular pets. Such geese will develop an interest in any activity you seem to be doing, tag along with you wherever you go, and even try hugging you.
When properly cared for, geese can live for as long as 10-15 years, and even past 20.
In many cases, the cause of a goose’s death is a predator, commonly dogs, and foxes.
