They're honking expensive, though.
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.
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.
