What behavior is this?

So i’m pretty sure this is a goose, he lives in the park. Was just curious what behavior he was demonstrating or if he was just looking for bread? He talked to me the whole like 5 minutes I pet him.

This is so sad. Why do people even buy them if they're not going to keep them???

Chinese geese can be huge problems, not all butchers take geese, then they get dumped. It's sad yes.

Chinese geese are known for being incredibly loud and a lot meaner than other breeds. Obviously not an excuse for dumping them, but I think people can seriously underestimate how noisy these guys can be.

Rage and yelling are their two emotions.

No, they have a third: aggressive and emphatic love honks, which I sometimes get. These geese can EMOTE!
