They won't let anyone or anything on your property. They're innocuous about it too, just toddle over in a non-threatening way, one who doesn't know better thinks "how cute!" until of course they start biting -which hurts, a lot. And they don't stop. Even well-placed steel toed boots don't slow them down. Geese are an attractive live yard-art solution to door to door salesmen and Jehovah's witnesses, eliminating the need of fencing. We called our flock the "witness protection program". Geese root out weeds and bugs, literally as it happens. Perspectives of someone who kept geese:

Similarly In team if any new & unforseen problem arises,it can be solved very easily as a team & best solution can be arrived throgh brainstorming as compared to single brain. hi Ron,
