You may see sometimes geese surrounding humans in hopes of retrieving food. These large birds who aren’t predatory by nature are not afraid of human interaction. They have the reputation of being aggressive and chasing people off of lake shores and golf courses in hilarious videos far and wide.
However, what you’re about to see in this video is far from what you expect a goose to be. The old woman’s relationship with one goose is a sort of an exception to the rule.
Most people would not get close to these large birds, but this elderly woman doesn’t seem to mind it. She even loves to spend her time with her lovely bird. In the video below, the big bird flaps its way up atop the woman’s shoulders to the amusement of observers.
Some viewers of this hilarious interaction chimed in that the experience isn’t quite as uncommon as we might think by the reputation geese have earned.
“I had a Domestic brown Chinese (like this one) gander show up on my horse farm years ago,” one commenter wrote. “He stayed and I was so glad he did. He was such a bright and humorous animal!”
Another added that she had a goose with similar behavior patterns, even going as far as to give it a name.
“My Lucy Goose resembles her except Lucy’s stripe down neck is to one side and curves,” she explained. “She is So funny! Eats from my hand.”
Watch as this huge bird interacts playfully with the elderly woman. How amazing.
