We had geese like these on our farm growing up. I always played with them as soon as they would come from the hatchery and they would imprint on me. I would have so much fun walking around the farm with a trail of geese following me
Wow that's awesome! I have a question then. When they grew up and paired up, did their behaviours change like Sam's did? I'm curious to see whether it was adulthood, or that she is an adult female and being wary of other males while around Todd (even human lol) or if it's because Margaret isn't there to remind her how good scritches are... What are your thoughts on this, oh Geese Leader? Lol 😊
I've had a very very rough year, both medically, academically, and romantically (haha) for me already, and I just want to extend a sincere thank you for posting such peaceful and happy videos. I've been trying to get to know my neighborhood cats (where I live they have to TnR them so the population remains in control for neighborhoods) and just yesterday one climbed into my lap and sat down for a while. I started crying. Connection with animals, especially wild ones, is so special.
@Vic This year has been tough for me, too. Too many problems to mention. You are not alone in your situation. I think these videos help us all. I hope your year gets better. I hope mine does, too. Best of luck to you.
@@secoTheSonicFan That is usually my strategy as well, actually I have a video of me doing just that with the new goose to the pond last season : ruclips.net/video/VE3KQ1Hd9iY/видео.html
I went to see the birds at my city’s big pond because of your videos of Sam and his little flock. My city is in a migratory path, so there were lots of wild ducks and geese along with the domesticated breeds that live there year round. My mom loved the Canadian Geese who were much more gentle than the internet had led us to believe (they wanted to be hand fed and one bit my hand trying to eat before I could put some on the ground but it was v gentle so maybe they weren’t wild after all) while I loved the ducks that stayed in the water (some fancy ones had little feather poofs like hats!). You helped me a lot with the calmness and example of how to act, I had developed some agoraphobia because of covid but you and Sam gave me the inspiration to go out anyway. Thank you so much!
Canadian geese are primarily aggressive when they lay eggs. Those Geese will rather aggressively protect their territory near their nest. And they aren't afraid of anything lol.
I just discovered this channel today and now I just keep wondering where I went wrong in my life. Happiness truly resides in the little things in life, thanks for sharing these videos!
This has to be one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this and the other videos. I wish more people were this appreciative of nature.
It's amazing to me that you can tell them apart. After wondering why I had a goose video keep being recommended to me for weeks, I finally get it. This is a seriously relaxing corner of RUclips I've found today, thanks for these videos.
Thanks for sharing all your lovely videos of these beautiful geese! What an amazing privilege to be accepted and trusted by them. Animals are usually good judges of a persons character. Such a great compliment they have given you! Samantha remains my favourite! She has the cutest waddle! I hope you continue to post, your commentary on the birds is enjoyable.
@@CS-zn4bu oh I meant babies like small little bundles of bird, not like human babies, haha. Trust me, I know exactly how smart lil geese and ducks are!
Came across your videos in my recommended only to realize that these are the Sullivan’s pond geese and that I live right by here! They are such a treat to have around, can’t wait to see them back in the spring! 😄
Very beautiful video my friend.Loved watching the geese and ducks waddling towards you.Must admit the geese are gorgeous and I’ve seen other videos where they don’t like ducks,guess they feel a bit superior 😄🦆💜
Great memories at this pond, my grandmother took me here all the time as a child, I also took my high school girlfriend here on sunny days to relax, hopefully I can take my kids there one day.
I made friends with a domestic goose that was likely dumped at my local pond, and she was so cute. Named her Sweety Pie. She'd hang out at my feet and loved cracked corn and disliked other ducks. She somehow befriended a lone Canadian goose who stayed the winter with her (which they don't do) and that goose was very sweet and timid. Called him Solo, and he'd hide from the other ducks under my feet. I've loved geese ever since those two and their crew of other likely domestic dumped ducks.
This is such a beautiful and peaceful life. I would give up video games to just wake up to ducks, geese and other waterfowl go about their daily lives.
These birds are beautiful. I can spend a week at this place just feeding and admiring nature. Are these geese or swans? We don't have swans in the Caribbean and I can't ever recall seeing geese (but I think we have them here). Chickens, ducks and pigeons are quite popular.
What a stately procession approaches you! I was sorry to hear that Margaret moved on--I had learned to ID her. Do they leave for the season and return? And the idea of an all-out goose war sounds ghastly! I wish creatures would get along. My main hen is asserting her dominance of the flock, and it's distressing when she pecks her sisters.
Appearance more than behavior believe it or not, but yes. The noises and way they act do come into it, despite their shallow gene pool if you spend enough time around them you can start to notice differences in their appearance as well.

As someone that discovered Sam 2 days ago,he grew up so quickly in my eyes
Seems like just yesterday ruclips.net/video/7rbtSplSOL0/видео.html
Same!
Same wth I came from the video 'Happiness is a gooseling running excitedly towards me' and i click this video next and I'm like.🗿
Little sam hehe ☺
I concur wholeheartedly! I found this joy two minutes ago. Pleased as punch.
imagine being out there vibin as a goose guardian and meeting a duck defender
WW3
yes exactly redwan
All fun in games until they meet the pato patrol
And then meeting the pigeon protector
They must overcome their differences…

Actually that's sad. Geese need to imprint on their mother not a human playing games

Animals heal everything. Glad you've gotten something from the videos.
Hope things get better friend.

The marching order at the beginning had me in tears!! thank you!
I have a major project due in about 4 days, so far all I've done is watch every video on this channel and begin learning their names
Pray for me Sam
Oh dear, I hope the peace they've given you speeds your project along.
@@SullivansGoose Thank you!
You are not alone. 😂👍
How did the project go? Did you finish it?
@@pavement5399 Finished it just in the nick of time hahaha
Thanks for asking :)
Genuinely curious how you befriended a flock of geese.
Very carefully. Crouching makes them less intimidated by you, but it also puts your face in beak range.

@@SullivansGoose please post another video, I have ducks but I love this
@@alicerussell2428 Thanks so much :) the geese will be back at the pond as will new videos in 2 weeks.
They sure are cute when they dont act like cobra chickens
I just discovered this channel today and now I just keep wondering where I went wrong in my life. Happiness truly resides in the little things in life, thanks for sharing these videos!
Glad you enjoy it! have another😊 ruclips.net/video/fKcMS3yF3Ow/видео.html
The ducks and geese need to get along.
I really enjoy seeing your videos! It's like a soap opera.. "Days of the geese" lol. I hope it is something you continue next season!
I'm just wondering who is going to pay the bills.
i saw the year old video about young Sam few seconds earlier and now i'm seeing this 3 month old vid
lil Sam grew up beautifully
This has to be one of the most fascinating videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you for sharing this and the other videos. I wish more people were this appreciative of nature.
Thanks so much. The flock will be back at the pond in less than a month!
Can't help but to have the geese walking music from the Aristocats them walk towards you, I watched that movie too many times as a kid
It's amazing to me that you can tell them apart. After wondering why I had a goose video keep being recommended to me for weeks, I finally get it. This is a seriously relaxing corner of RUclips I've found today, thanks for these videos.
Thanks so much :) Glad others are getting some of the peace of mind from watching my videos that I get from making them.
I've watched quite a bit of videos after that really cute Sam video, I can't wait for the water to thaw and for you to see the flock again 💙
Sending you and the little goose floofs good weather and pleasant days 💙
Thanks so much :)
Wow, I know geese have quite a temper, but I still wasn’t expecting the Geese Wars to be that brutal !
It was downright barbaric beak to beak combat.
@@SullivansGoose goose gang
Geese will fuck you up, they are fearless when it comes to defending their territory.
There's lots to know about geese, they're just incredible.
Exactly what I needed. I've been having a rough couple of weeks, and I haven't really been setting aside time for myself. This was nice to watch 😊
Glad it helped😊 I find this one especially relaxing : ruclips.net/video/FP7QFhL_oi4/видео.html
Love seeing the geese as well as the fall colours of NS 😊

Such a great compliment they have given you! Samantha remains my favourite! She has the cutest waddle! I hope you continue to post, your commentary on the birds is enjoyable.
Thank you so much, and yes, there will be more :) The gang is just indoors for safe keeping for the winter.
Thank you so much for uploading these :)
So awesome you can visit these beautiful friendly birds and they march right up to you🦆😁👍
As a Duckman, I find this saddening
I don't encourage her.
I love watching your videos! Seeing how happy these lil babies are warms my heart ❤
They're no babies they're full grown geese, and very intelligent! Don't anthropomorphize them like that! :P
@@CS-zn4bu oh I meant babies like small little bundles of bird, not like human babies, haha. Trust me, I know exactly how smart lil geese and ducks are!
@@quickrunhideflee Oh yes you're so right, I also know how smart geese are. Ducks too! Geese are awesome and I love waterfowl! :-)
I like that at the start they're just lining up and walking out one by one like a small kindergarten students so cuteee xddd
Came across your videos in my recommended only to realize that these are the Sullivan’s pond geese and that I live right by here! They are such a treat to have around, can’t wait to see them back in the spring! 😄
Nice! Yes, can't wait for the thaw.
It's so nice to unwind watching your goose videos after watching so many current event videos :)
I think we could all use the pallet cleanse, obviously anytime to go viral is nice, but this also feels right :)
sam and his pals are such a delight. i am obsessed with your videos. thank you.
Thanks so much :)
wow is this channel wholesome thank you so much
Very beautiful video my friend.Loved watching the geese and ducks waddling towards you.Must admit the geese are gorgeous and I’ve seen other videos where they don’t like ducks,guess they feel a bit superior 😄🦆💜
The best coming of age story that I’ve ever watched
Great memories at this pond, my grandmother took me here all the time as a child, I also took my high school girlfriend here on sunny days to relax, hopefully I can take my kids there one day.
It is a great little oasis.
This is awesome please keep us updated on them
Thank you so much for letting us see this beautiful duck.
Goose*
Awww I love the way they walk, so adorable 😍. Please upload more videos about Sam :D
Will do as soon as things thaw :) they are housed indoors for the winter.
I discovered this channel today and safe to say I'm happy.
I'm glad 😊
Lol the way you described the drama with the flock sounded like a like a Pixar movie, only without the gratuitous violence.
This video just calms my heart.
this is my time to shine!
*takes a deeeeeeeeep breath*
"LOOOOOOOOK
AAAAAAAT
AAAAAALLLLL
THOOOOOSEEE
CHICKEEEENSSSS!"
This channel deservers all the love from the youtube algorithm
I have just found Sam for the first time. I love Sam. This breed reminds me of the time a goose bit me.
Finally the algorithm sent me what I desire to watch.
Thank you for the videos.
I just discovered this channel and I absolutely needed this.i hope to see you post again soon friend
The flock will be back as soon as things thaw :)
They are beautiful ❤️🤩
This is my favourite RUclips channel that I’ve ever seen keep making this amazing content man 😊
Thanks so much :) will do as soon as they're back in spring!
This is also my favourite channel too ... It is soo rexlaing... It also brings me peace and joy every time I watch this channel. 💓
@@SullivansGoose ok 😁
"....it was like feathers everywhere".😆

Sam's making sure that no ducks bother you.
Aww! Sam! ❤️
This is such a beautiful and peaceful life. I would give up video games to just wake up to ducks, geese and other waterfowl go about their daily lives.
this place is just beautiful 😍
Man Sam does play around I guess that makes him serious Sam 😂 🤣
I love their sound
RUclips has finally figured out what I need! It's a best channel in the world!!! Please keep filming this beutiful createres.
Will do, just waiting for things to thaw and the flock will be back at the pond.
You just got a new sub!
Thanks so much 😊
"Look at all these Dinosaurs!"
Wow todd and marg are still here for 1 year is impressive
Love your channel❤️
Thanks so much :) Can't wait for the flock to be back in the spring to start posting again.
We love you, Sam!!! Dx
Man, i want a flock of geese now :D
Nice big old geese
This is the spirit of youtube
So sad for the goose that got ostracized 😢
All these days I thought goose were ducks...
A goose war?! With sides?!?!
How do you recognize them apart 😮
They all have subtle things about them, Sam for instance has the darkest blue eyes of all of them.
This's wholesome
Omg😍😍😍😍
Subbed ♥️
Thank you :D
Dat Sync walking tho
Can't wait for the geese to return :)
Me either :) Should be less than a month now.
So many pretty birds 🦢
I fear for the day that anyone angers this man. He may unleash his army on the world, and I fear we wouldn't have the strength to resist.
love your vedeos, sam is so adorable
These birds are beautiful. I can spend a week at this place just feeding and admiring nature. Are these geese or swans? We don't have swans in the Caribbean and I can't ever recall seeing geese (but I think we have them here). Chickens, ducks and pigeons are quite popular.

@@SullivansGoose thanks
All I know it looks like the geese look like the big car and the ducks like a small infantry unit
thats a lot of ducks🥰❤️
This just got recommended to me and this is so wholesome awww
Glad you enjoyed it, have some more😊ruclips.net/video/fKcMS3yF3Ow/видео.html
I miss my geese. Mine were brown except for one who was white and female, her name was snowball.
Damn you are a great dude.
Thanks so much. 😊
@@SullivansGoose People like you are what keep faith alive man :) enjoy the rest of your week!
@@SullivansGoose PS I still hope you continue posting to this channel!

your like, a gang boss. around my local pond, every times i walked pass by. it's start to chase me.
Only geese I get to see where I live are them big Canada geese, so many of em everywhere here
Sam near his hooman and flock:peace was always an option.
Sam near ducks/ducklings:peace was never an option.
Exactly this.
💐
Sam be like "I'm a big boy now :>"

Yes they're housed indoors for the winter, they should be back in about a month once things have thawed.
@@SullivansGoose Oh, what a relief! I thought she was fending for herself out in the suburban wilderness.
how is Sam doing now? I just found out that this is the Sullivan's pond here in Dartmouth, I had no idea at first ! so cool❤
She and the flock are all well :) They should be back at the pond in a couple weeks.
Wait do you own them? I was down there just this day getting up next to them. Nice blue eyes.
Nope, the city does, I just spent a good deal of time with them; earned their trust.
@@SullivansGoose oh because I saw one of your videos with them behind a fence that I'm assuming is your property? Or either it's different geese.
@@Mothobius That one video was of someone else's geese I happened to spot, all the rest are from Sullivan's Pond.
I watch old videos and sam grew up :D also did the duck just haha
goose goose duck in a nutshell
How do you tell them apart? Is it through their behaviour?
Appearance more than behavior believe it or not, but yes. The noises and way they act do come into it, despite their shallow gene pool if you spend enough time around them you can start to notice differences in their appearance as well.
I had trouble sleeping lately, thanks for this video now I feel like I could sleep tight tonight at last.
I'm glad, have another😊 ruclips.net/video/uIX4QTzT-O4/видео.html
I have 6 geese, one is sitting on 2 eggs so I’m hoping for some geese let’s.
