I think they're beautiful, and looking into their infamously bad behavior is where I began to learn about birds often pairing for life and are very loving and protective parents.
If not for the overproduction of messy poo, I'd rank them much higher, but I love geese in principle.
Goose poop isn't as messy and liquid as most birds. It's more like little cylinders.
Tell that to my hands as I'm biking along the sidewalk along the river. I had to grab leaves to rub off goose poop. Miserable animals
See, I prefer the liquid poo. It dries quick and doesn't track if you step on it. If it's somewhere you have to clean it up, it rinses or fairly easily scrubs off. Chunky goose poo is just like 10,000 mini dog poos on my walk to work or at the park, etc. and it sits forever or gets stuck in shoe tread. Yuck.

It's on your tombstone now. No takebacks.
Work with animals and this is not the weirdest thing I said on a regular basis by far.
Never would I have expected that I would spend many Sunday mornings this summer talking to so many beautiful young ladies about treating inflamed squirrel penises. But someone needs to teach them!
I prefer the liquid bird poo cleanup over the mammal poo in nearly all cases, though stressed out hawks can do some gnarly things.
