guard goose
Honking property protector
A guard goose is a goose kept to protect property or other animals, taking advantage of the bird's territorial nature and loud, aggressive response to intruders.
Geese have served as watchdogs for centuries—they famously alerted Romans to a Gallic invasion.
Modern guard geese patrol farms, vineyards, and even warehouses: The guard geese raised hell when a fox approached the henhouse.
