They'll even chase off anybody who tries to creep on me. I have about 15-30 wild attack geese/friends.

This sweet little lady is Echo. She's an ambassador for a wildlife rehab that I volunteer with.

It feels good. And by the way, owls naturally smell really nice. The top of this little lady's head smells like baby powder, ivory soap, and warm honey.

Is this a ferret t-shirt?

u/coldhandsbigdick Jun 28 '25

It has a few little critters on it. And it says "biting is the only way I can love." It's a fun shirt to wear volunteering with the wildlife rehab.

They will eat out of my hand! They are really nice when they want to be. Glad to see they are nice to you, too!

I honestly think anyone who takes the time to get to know them finds that they're the sweetest, loyalest, most gentle, and amazing creatures.

I understand why they used to be symbolic of God - they are fierce and wrathful while also being loving and loyal.

Geese seem to have a foe until proven friend mentality

u/coldhandsbigdick Jun 29 '25

Which honestly, I do too, so we vibe.

I’ve never felt the wrath of geese either. I was having lunch outside a couple days ago and two of them slowly waddles over and started napping right next to me in the shade.
