They're honking expensive, though.
In ancient Rome, geese are credited by the historian Livy for giving the alarm when Gauls invaded (see Battle of the Allia).[9][10][11] Geese were subsequently revered in the supplicia canum annual sacrifice, and the Romans later founded a temple to Juno, to whom the geese were considered sacred.
My cousin's wedding was at her friend's farm that had signs saying "Beware of the geese" all over the place. I thought they were a joke but apparently their dogs are too friendly to guard the property so they normally have a colony of guard geese that roams around and is very violent.
